Ding about the paint coming off...Would you consider making it in the same matte black as the FJ bumper and no paint?

I wouldn't. Short of an automotive paint with a few dozen clear cotes anything you paint this with will quickly wear and flake off. also, the texture and shape would probably encourage flaking. If that doesn't scare you off try it with one and pit it on the wall. You might prove me wrong.

No paint touch up kit was included. Any black flat paint would work - something like rust - o - leum might be best.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

My 2000 mustang had grey interior and I used them black, kinda added a little character to my stang. I wouldn't recommend painting them because I'm not sure how it would turn out but if your set on painting them I suppose it could be worth a shot.

Good morning Russelk777 Base on my own experience, adding the clear coat will not make it shine, as of fact, it will give it a matte look.

Yes, but you would have to paint all of the corners and backs anyway so it would be easier to just paint the back black. It isn't great and the textures on the back will definitely clash with the black finish on the front. Basically, everything you see in the picture is black but from behind it, you wouldn't even know it's black.

I sold my jeep but can tell you it was a rugged ridge poster child. They make quality stuff. I had my jeep off-road. The rugged ridge took a beating. I did end up painting it so when I scratched it I could easily touch it up. I like the fact if you bang up an end you can change it out. There also several options as far as the look you want. I would recommend it 100%

Easily probably no, it almost feels like a soapy stain at the beginning. Not sure if a paint would hold or just flake off without a lot of prep work to remove.

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

My black bumper is grey around the screen and around the back, and black on the side. Sounds similar to the white one.

The bumper is powder coated back and the finish is not glossy like paint. The powder coat base can be used as a primer.

I bought this not to long ago. It is dark grey. I had concerns about it not matching the plastic on top of the bumper but it looks good. I was wanting a black one as well but after putting it on it looks 10 times better than the old faded grey one. Keep it oiled and it will stay nice looking.

I've seen it done before. As for doing it myself, I have not. However I am very happy with this product and the black color that I have under this. You have the ability to add as much or as little gloss as you want to get the look you are going for. I would say do it! :-)

Dennis the answer to your question is the back of the unit painted to match the front? No, it is not. You could paint it to match. Sorry. Have a nice day.

This may sound weird but it is between the two. It is smooth and somewhat glossy. Not like a high gloss paint but not dull either. It definitely is not matte black. However unless you have something black right next to it you wont notice how its more on the shiny side. It gives your Jeep a nice look and does force more air in. My Jeep is yellow with black trim and accessories. Most of my black parts are matte black or textured painted. It looks good. Hope this helps.

This only comes in a black smooth finish but it is very common to paint the item to match your color. You can either do this yourself by going to a Toyota dealer and purchasing a small amount of touch up paint or take it to a body shop and they can do it for you.
