Hi gang,

can anyone tell me if we can paint the front fascia?

I've been told by a "body" guy that paint won't stick well to it.
As you can see, it kinda looks bad.

Thanx for the replies.....

Get you a bottle of alcohol and a can of Krylon fusion semi-gloss. Wash the peice with dish washing liquid, then rub it down good with alcohol.

I would think you should lightle sand it also to give the paint something to stick to, the gmc's that old dog talked about have a different facia it is much smoother and the paint adhers to it much better, your facia like mine is really slick just like your back bumper and is really not supposed to be painted.

They make a product that you spray out of a paint gun called Bumper clad. All you have to do is clean the parts then spray this on then spray you color coat... No need to sand the bumper clad stuff it works pretty good. you will have to buy it from an auto body shop.
