No. I will need to remove one run and a few specks of dust though.

I like the fact that it gets hard and is more scratch resistant. Now if it were a show car that would be a different matter.

Repainted the front bumper and got it and a new black grille installed today. Owner wants all black accents and no chrome other than the Ram's head emblem.

Got the lower bumper cover painted and installed.
New Fog lights came but were defective so had to return them. They need to go in before the headlights can be installed.
Installed new LED third brake/cargo light to match the black and red theme.
Working on the bed and tailgate now.

Bed and tailgate in 2k primer.
This dented area was a bit of a challenge:
Turned out pretty good for all the prying, poking, hammering, etc.
Hope to get the color and clear on tomorrow. After that, if the Raptor bedliner gets here, I can start on that part of the project on Monday.
I ordered a "powder coated" rear bumper and when I took it out of the box, I found the brackets and bolts loose in the box. The bumper was scratched up pretty bad in the most visible area.
I contacted them and they sent me a replacement and told me not to bother with returning it. The replacement got here and guess what? It was scratched up too just not as bad.
For $368 including shipping this was unacceptable, so I contacted them and sent them pictures. They said they will refund my money and send a return label for the bumper. Still waiting.

After having to clean overspray from one of our cars, I learned to move our vehicles far enough away so that doesn't happen. Generally there is a breeze blowing that prevents any overspray from lingering once it heads out the garage door.

Yes, I know it's dirty. LOL
Installed the headlights and fog lights. They still need to be adjusted:
Like most of the aftermarket parts for this truck, they are Chinese junk and probably won't hold up very long.
Now on to the bedliner.

To their credit, Carparts.com did refund my money and send a return label for one of the bumpers. I sent the worst one back and kept the lightly scratched one. After a little modification and painting, I got it installed today.

Got the bed and tailgate installed today. It needs a bath real bad and I'm putting together a punch list now.

A couple of outdoor shots.
Owner plans to put black rims and new tires on it.
Has a power steering fluid leak that I need to address, plus the secondary O2 sensors are both coding. My guess is a wiring issue.
