no more chrome

[Richi5280]

So im looking to paint my front and rear bumper all the same color of my suv in other words don't want that chrome. Also the chrome trimming around the grille. Is it better to paint the original ones or is there bumper covers. Any info and pics would help thanks.

the front bumper you will have to sand and prep yourself unless you drop the $$ on an already primered z71 bumper....back bumper wise there are covers out there seen a nice one i have been eyeing on stylintruck i believe

There are bumper covers but I'd suggest powder coating them... it's more durable. But the grill you'll have to get painted. Here's one of our members that had his bumpers powder coated-

depends on your budget really... powder coating is amazing but expensive itd probably be 650-700 for the bumper wheels go for 150 minimum each

Narco got his done for 175 for both bumpers.

How from what i have heard powder coating is quite expensive.. rims were being done for no less than 375 for all four

Just gotta shop around. There's always someone willing to do it for less than everybody else.

For your bumpers go with powder. It holds up great and really is not that expensive.

Had my wheels done two years ago, still looks brand new.

I had a local shop do my wheels and it was only $220 with media blast and powder.

The shop I went to had a book about 5 inches thick with colors they could order, so I would assume they could get pretty close if not exact.

Thanks for the info and help guys. Might have to go to some body shops and check out how much they charge. And that rear bumper from stylin trucks caught my eye too.
