Instructions/Diagrams for removing front and rear bumper fascias?

All, am planning on painting the "bull bars" on both the front and rear clips, anyone have detail on the removal of the clips? That dull gray plastic has got to go Smile

Appreciate your feedback/input!

Bump. I'm planning exactly the same. I've really gone off the grey plastic look since every other manufacturer seems to be doing the same over here

Tape off the other areas and use Plastidip. Quick/easy option.

Actually thought of this as I've lots of experience using plastidip on previous vehicles. Only worry is getting the same gloss effect as the other black pieces. I don't think it would match that well

Plastics ip is so easy.
You don't have to be great sprayer either as it finds its own lines , so no trimming

I've done fog light blanks and skid plates front and back

Hi Gary, any chance you can post some pics of the skid plates. I'm thinking I might do this and would like to see what it would look like. Ta.

Interesting, I'm fairly handy but have never used Plasticdip, sounds like it would be more durable, can you get it to match the bright Atlas trim color? Seems like some folks are using vinyl wrap as well? That would be more durable than paint too.
