First post.
This may have been covered but I coulnd't find anyting by searching I'm looking to put aftermarket bumpers on my '11 Spoort and I was wondering what manufactures provided the most durable finish. I read bad things about Olympic and Warn. Any thoughts?

My expedition one bumper has a great textured powdercoat finish

You could always buy the bumper you like and coat it with spray on bedliner

x3 So much easier to keep it looking nice, no matter how much you beat it.

She said no matter how much you beat it :rotfl mao2:

Not sure who has the best but sooner or later you will be touching it up I think. There's a powdercoating place on Street road in Warminster and a LineX place off County Line.

Saw your location and reminded me ...I missed Fallsington Day this year

Yeah, so did I. Work has a way of keeping you from things you enjoy.


Thanks for all the replies. As far as doing the spray on bedliner, does the diy rattle can hold up or should it be done by a pro? What about the diy roll on kits? On any of them do you apply directly over the powdercoat or is there prep work involved? Also, can you wait till the powdercoat is damaged or is it too late by then?

Sorry for all the questions. I guess there is no company(s) whose finish stands out as superior.

I'm thinking bare aluminum.

Anyone seen this method used on a PS Bumper? I'm thinking about buying the Brawler Lite front bumper. Just not sure what kind of finish to apply.

The powdercoating on my Warn bumpers lasted maybe a few months. Now I just hit em with some sandpaper when they start looking rough and spray them with some duraliner. Lasts about 6 months at a time. Maybe im just rough on my bumpers?
