New to forum! 1988 Bronco II named Lil’ Red

[Andrew761015]

just joined and was curious if anyone has recommendations on how to paint the bumper and trim with fresh black paint? Also are there any Bronco II clubs that ever meet to show off this underrated classic?

It’s all removable. Front bumper has 4 carriage bolts. Windshield trim has friction fasteners. Use caution but they pull straight off. Light sanding and cleaning. Rattle can away. I use farm implement paint on that type stuff. It seem durable.
Sister site TheRangerStation.com just had an event last weekend. I did not attend but I followed along on the web site. They let us Bronco II people hang out with them as our rigs share similarities.
Nice truck.

That is a pretty nice rig...

These are a bit underrated to the general culture. With the come back of the new Bronco... people seem to appreciate them a little more these days.

Oh no...here's comes the resident Raptor liner guy!

My entire vehicle is going to be Raptor lined shortly (it's a type of bedliner). For folks that might think it's little extreme for the entire body, it does give nice contrast and compliment if you do only fenders/bumpers/etc.

It comes in spray cans now and is a one-day job, easily. Bumpers are super easy to remove with just the carriage bolts holding them on. Clean, scuff them, wipe them down with water/alcohol or acetone and spray adhesive promoter. Two light coats and you're down. Very similar procedure to a rattle can paint job, there's innumerable YouTube videos that will give you plenty of good (and horrible!) advice...
