I want to make my nissan titan completely black but the rear bumper is a brushed aluminumI called around a few paint and body shops and they all want around $200I would like to know if there is a cheaper way do do this.
No blanketKeep it off until he shows signs of discomfort or some nasty weather is coming inMy horses are allowed to grow their full winter coatWhen the temp falls in the 10 degree range, my mare will start to shiverThat's when I blanket them all, even though the others seem okayOne of the others is 26 years old like your horse.
no blanketif he is getting his winter coat and has adequate forage and is not shivering, leave him bei only put a blanket on mine when we have sudden temperature drops (as in from 40' and 30's at night to the 20's) and even then i only use a medium to light blanket and its only for one or two nights until the temp becomes steadymy guy is out 24/7 with no shelter save trees53 is way too warm imo for a blanket unless you have been blanketing all fall to negate production of a winter coat.
No blanket53 degrees is too warm for a horse without a winter coat, even if it is windyYou can put a blanket on him starting at about 35-40 degrees.
if he's getting his winter coat and it's 53 degrees, i would say no blanket is neededdoes he have ANY kind of shelter, like a run-in or something three-sided with a roof for rainy weather? anyway, if or when the temps dip into the low 40's, i would get a light cotton turnout blanketi live in PA and the weather at night has been getting into the 20's - my TB has a nice wooly coat and I still have her turnout blanket on herWhen it starts to hit the teens or below, I'll put something heavier on herBut in Florida, I don't know how much chance there is in hitting those low temperatures.
.Lightly sand the bumper and paint it with some high temperature paint.Autozone sell's a 1,800 deg paint for headders and engine blocksAfter painting leave the bumper in the sun to dry.Good stuff!
