After finally deciding on the R.L convertible bumper, I used the layway plan to hold the special new year's price he had going and then I paid off the balance about 3 weeks ago.
I went on a motorcycle trip to Texas last week (worst trip ever) and talking to the wife on the phone, she told me 2 big packages had come for me - my bumper. Took about 2 weeks after paying it off..........
I emailed Martin to tell him I got it, and to thank him and he did tell me that he still has to get me the winch plate and the winch guard, but those are just bol ton so I can go ahead and get the bumper painted and mounted.
After going back and forth a million times, for the finish I decided on hammered gray. I am going to 1st coat the bumper with Rust Bullet, then shoot it with filler primer, then the hammered gray. More than likely I will then finish it off by shooting it with some urethane clear coat - still a bit undecided on that. I like the durability, but am thinking it might be too glossy.
I have always just had much, much better durability using an automotive clear coat as opposed to spray cans.
I am waiting for the Rust Bullet to get here to get started. I am also not sure if I should shoot it with etching primer before the rust bullet. Apparently it is not necessary, but I have it so if I find out it will help, I will do it.
I had some hesitation abou ordering this bumper due to posts about a long wait time, but it has been my experience that Martin has always answered my emails promptly and tho I don;t have it all yet, I got most of the bumper in about 2 weeks - so obviously I am thrilled....
after this it will be the winch, then the OME suspension........I dread the tires as that is going to be costly
