JpEggEdge Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hey Guys, I have been contemplating painting the Black Plastic Bumpers along the bottom of my 2008 Ford Edge Limited to the same color as the Edge itself (Polar White) Does anybody know what kind of plastic the Black bottom Bumpers are? If anyone has ever done this before, what kind of paint did you use and were you able to get it easily matched up? How did the bumpers look after a while (after a long hard winter or baking in the sun) ? I don't want to get them painted and then it start to look like crap or warp after a year or so? If you have done this before, please share pictures if you don't mind! Any help would be appreciated! I have seen this on other Edge's before and thought it looked nice, I want to do my research before committing to anything though! Thanks!!

JOEHIO Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Others in the forum have done this, I don't remember where it was posted. Try doing a search on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JpEggEdge Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yeah, I have seen it on here before, but haven't had any luck finding it again If anyone has the link to where this was previously discussed, Let me know! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantz Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 here's the link to the post I put up. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/6680-2011-sellmtd-painted-frontback-lipsside-rocker-panels/ Mine's White Platinum Tri-Coat. They're basic plastic, nothing special. For a quality job, they need to be removed, cleaned, plastic prepped, primed, painted and cleared. At a regular production facility, expect it to be close to $2k. I've had mine done for over a year now, and haven't had so much as a pit (albeit due to the chrome backing, I have a few small rock chips to the grille pieces) I've painted 3 Edges in total like this. Haven't had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dranged Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I just finished rebuilding an '08 Edge Limited, and i painted the black plastic pieces. It turned out great, and looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgieguy Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Shantz, I love what you did to your Edge. If I were on a tight budget I wouldve done the same and simply purchased the lower front and rear valences from the Sport model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
