Bull Bars

[Cyber 09]

We too having same delima. Hubby wants steel for protection, I'm after alloy for looks (but restricted with winch requirement). Anyhow as for the steel don't want the black and am chasing a paint code for the flares on the cyber blue. I hunted high and low, spent nearly all day on the phone with mitsi to find out and no one can help. I have seen a few in the profiles that have colour coded with flares. Can someone help me with the paint colour code????? Pleeeeease!!!!

PM NowForThe5th. I think he's done it and he's also in the paint trade

Not sure he has. He's the one showing off the ironman (this is the compromise that we have been looking at but think the grey bottom half is a great deal darker). But with PM incase he knows from paint trade. Thanks

Dulux Precious Pewter Pearl (powdercoat) wouldn't be far off the colour of the flares

NowForThe5th is your man if he does not know it he should be able to get it or tell you where to get it

I can't remember the colour code off the top of my head but it does have the very imaginative name of "grey". Full details are in the computer at work - I'll check it out and post the results.

Yes, I did colour code the bar and it certainly does look a little darker, a result of the textured hammertone finish which creates shadows in each "dimple". On a flat surface the colour was perfect. Next time I'll lighten it a touch to compensate.

I've got the ARB deluxe and took on roos and goats around ivanhoe and I won even the odd emu (feathers and guts everywhere) just bent the number plate , big hammer solved that problem..

OK. The paint code for the wheel arch mouldings is A80. There is an alternate paint code of CSA10080 but it is exactly the same colour. The name of the colour is "Grey".

Thanks to you all.

just had an ARB deluxe bar fitted as well as a snorkel, IPF lights and a winch. Got a good deal buying all at once.

Now I have a torneau cover (hard) sports bar and nudge bar that needs a home how best to sell these? I guess flea bay

Hi Guys,

I've seen the question asked in a few threads but can't recall seeing an actual answer....

Do bull bars for the ML come with a template to cut the factory bumper??

I wanna get a bar put on but can't stomach the idea of a 17 year old apprentice at my local 4x4 outlet lookin at the front of my brand new VR scratching his head saying "Where do i start? Bugger it here will do...."

I'm thinking a couple hundred km trip to ARB or TJM in Ballarat or Bendigo may be the go.

Any help much appreciated!!!

The ARB Bar I have fitted comes with comprehensive installation instructions which give all the measurements an installer needs with pictures, but no template to mark with.

Im hearin ya - I wouldn't of even been able to watch them do it to mine Involves a lot of cutting and you would need the right tools and experience to do a good job i think. Final finish is important when you spend that much money.

I guess it depends on how reputable your 4x4 dealer is......

Depending on the design of the bullbar, I don't think they are going to care about how neat a the cut is if it's going to be hidden under the bar
