Well I want to just dive in a paint my front chrome bumper with the duplicolor bedliner spray. I've used the product before and had good luck with it. How easy does the front bumper come off like the fogs, the upper part, etc. Also, what's the best way to scuff the chrome for the paint to stick. I was going to sand then use self etching primer then the bedliner spray. What are your opinions on this? My plan was to have the bumpers and rocker panels line x'd but I don't have the funds and I won't have the funds for a long time.

 

the bumper comes right off the frame with the 4 bolts connected to the frame.once u take them out u can just slide the bumper off. its not hard to take the top piece,plastic inserts and other stuff off but it takes some time.as far as painting it urself....... i did my rear bumper the same way ur gonna do ur front bumper and it came out awsome but i dont think its gonna hold up when it comes time to wash it alot or it just gettin hit from rocks and stuff.i sanded mine with 320 sand paper then i use a rubberized paint to protect against rust,then self etching primer,then like 4 coats of the bedliner paint. does look good though but will it last? maybe? goodluck

 

Well too late, I already sanded it. I took a freakin belt sander to that ****. I think it was 60 grit hahaha. But anyway it's all sanded and ready for paint in the morning. I like the bed liner spray since when it dulls I can just spray paint on top of it. Ill post pics when I'm done.

 

make sure you use a finer grit sandpaper to smooth it out better.....good luck

 

please take lots of pics im debating on doing this too

 

trust me silver we all are debating....i just have painters telling me not to paint the chrome but to p/c it cause it sticks better and it thicker.....

 

yea but if im gonna spend 150 in pc then i would just rather get a new bumper all together like a street scene or something. i think i can get an srt bumper for 275 just dont know if i want it on my truck yet

 

thats a good price have at it it would look friggen sweet on there....especially since your getting the hood get after it boi.....

 

Would love to see how it turns out...

 

Yes same here, I've debated painting my chrome too
