I decided to go ahead and paint my front and rear bumpers. Everything I've read, said they had to have the chrome sandblasted. Wrong. Here's a few pics of the process:

This is what she looks like with no bumper.


The bumper after degreasing.


The bumper taped off for Self-etching Primer after sanding


The bumper Etched and painted plastic above sanded and primed.


The bumper primed with 2K Urethane and sanded. Ready for paint

 

Here are the ront and rear bumpers painted and clearcoated. I may polish them this weekend and have them back on the truck with pics on Monday.

 

looking good... why didnt you take the rubber step pad off the upper fascia???
you should mold the upper into the lower and make it look like one peice. i think it would look good either way though. i like how more peopel are goign against everyone saying it cannot be done. anything can be done.

 

i made my post before i saw you finished the paint. so disregard my idea on molding the upper and lower peices together haha. LOOKS GREAT THOUGH...

 

looks great man

 

Nice job. I love that hood!

 

Very clean looking!

 

I too love the hood. Very nice. I had my bumpers and grille painted to match my truck. I love the look. One goal I have this year is to learn how to spray. I have a friend who is willing to teach me.

 

How much would it cost to do this?

 

sweet - i thought about getting my bumpers painted as well.....expensive?
