Thanks y'all. Finally got the envoy bumper and spoiler painted tonight. Decided against the mirrors for now though.





I'm gonna bolt the bumper up in the morning before work, so more pics to come then

Looks good,, did you guys cut those feet on your stands to that angle,, mine have little rubber bumpers on my feet but I think those angled feet would be better

They came like that actually. They had rubber pads at one point, but they tear and fall off quick in a body shop. Check under your rubber pads, you might have angled feet already!

Yeh some of my rubbers are gone to,

mine have always seemed extra tipsy wobbly, I got the ones in the picture from a swap meet about 25 years ago. Maybe all the new ones they cut like that.

Ah yeah, it'll be more stable if you angle them a bit.

Here's the bumper on the truck...I'm a little frustrated about the color match with ppg...but constant issues like this is the exact reason we are switching to Sherwin on Monday.

It sure looks awesome, though! I don’t know if I would have noticed the color difference if you hadn’t pointed it out. I absolutely love watching this project come together.

Looks really good from here, looks like you dipped it glass but I also know that feeling,, still to this day color matching is hard to do for me too. So many variables.
