Guys,

Is it cheaper to get the bumpers/grille painted or powdercoated? Im not sure what is better to do. For the guys that has done this, whats a rought estimate I should expect when I go to a auto body shop?

Thanks

i had mine powdercoated and sandblasted saved the hassle because noone would give me a gurantee the paint would last long with the chrome even if its sanded, i paid 125 for front and rear blasted and powdercoated but i got a big deal every where else it was around 200-250

 

200-250 aint bad. im willing to pay that. thank you

 

yea i woulda still paid that to avoid the hassle and then one of the last places i called said they do large quantities of parts for a company so they could just throw mine in and save me some money

 

i got quoted a media blast and both bumps for 200 but thats thru a buddy also.....so im not sure what a reg shop would charge....and thats with a guarantee from him personally

 

Painted would be cheaper. Powdercoat is more, but you will pay more. I got my front & rear bumper sandblasted and powdercoated for $125ea. = $250. While, i got a quote from a local sandblaster for painting the bumpers, $150 for both bumpers to be sandblasted & primed. Paint was extra but way cheaper than the powdercoat. Depends on you, but i will only go with powdercoat. Looks good, durable, cant go wrong...

 

to powder coat the bumpers was 150 ea here and it was 100 to have my grill painted

 

Those prices arent that bad guys. Im willing to pay that to powder coat all the chrome white

 

what will last the longest powdercoating?? cause i deff wanna paint my grill

 

I think that the powder coating will because it some how sticks better to the chrome.
