can this be done and done right?i have chrome now but id like to make them dark stone like the rest of the truck,is there an alternative?

 

I had chrome as well - you can install painted bumper covers - or you can purchase the front and rear Ford bumper already painted - not sure of the math for which way is cheaper, but I am around $750 for covers, prep, paint, and install.

FWIW

 

You sure can. I had a 90 chevy p/u with a front chrome bumper. I had a body shop sandblast, prime, and paint it.

 

you can sandblast it and paint it, the bumpers do not come prepainted from ford, they are PTM

 

I drilled down on www.FordParts.com and found the front bumper with fog lights painted for $277.50. Perhaps it is possible to get them shipped painted, etc. Sure we be a lot easier. You might even be able to sell someone your chromes.

The drill down for the part, I went to 2005 Ford "pickup" ...

Front Bumper
-- Bumper and components
----Bumper
------W/fog lamps

 

i still dont think they come painted, i have checked once and i believe it had to be PTM. but i could be wrong

^^^ that looks great Tom. How does it look in person? What did you have to do to the chrome to prep it?
