Bumpers painted finally!



I got the OEM front bumper painted black and a rear roll pan painted black.
The only thing I'm looking at getting is the OEM Harley nerf bars.
What do yall think?

The roll pan was $150. Getting my front bumper, the roll pan, and the grille insert piece was $290 total. So I paid about $440 total, and had to go 3 days without my truck =[

You guys freaking kill me !

These lazy / lame *** paint and body shop people around here won't hardly even consider painting chrome bumpers !

I talked to 6 different places :-( One of them said they could remove the chrome and PTM my bumpers (front and rear) for $1300 !!! ....another said they could order brand new primered bumpers and paint them for $1500 !!! Yea' right ! The other 4 places either told me right there that they couldn't do it, or never called back.

Anyway, then you guys come along and make it sound so easy. It probably is.... these paint places around here just suck !

Urggg...

PS, Rex4mayor, your bumpers, and your truck for that matter, look great ! :-)

Hey Screw.....

Well now, that's a trip ! I'd assume that they would only have the colors that a stock F150 bumper, might be painted from the factory.... Which does not include Stone Green (not available in the FX2's and FX4's).


Next, when you say "cheap"... I'm wondering.... Less than $400 cheap ? {because that's what I'll be paying for black powder coating}

I've already done ebay searches, and could not find any painted bumpers to fit my truck..... let alone Stone Green ones. I'm lame at ebay searches.

I guess I could call Andy (that's Andy Comps, correct ?) Monday morning..... but Monday morning I'm supposed to get straight to my mechanics house, so we can rip my bumpers off, and get them to the powder coat people....

I'm thinking satin black PC might be just as nice as PTM anyway.... but if I found out Andy could get me Stone green bumpers for $300, I might change my mind on that ;-)

Thank you Screw,
Fish

Yea, I had to get the shallow mount subs under the backseat which ran a little bit more than the regular ones, but the sound and the bass is great. Yea, the paint shop did everything, they even fixed my roll pan and mounted that with parts they had to go buy, because the eBay guy didn't send me the parts.

Thanks guys!

anyone know where I can get some OEM harley step bars?
