I have chrome bumpers i want black ptm. so i figured painting them would be difficult, after reading FishChris threads

so i started looking at Tascas parts website

is this right $311 + shipping for new front Ptm bumper??

and why is the rear so much more $ 475 ??

Powder Coating FTW. If its black it will match just fine and will be much cheaper.....

 

how about finish wise, it wont be like the paint right?

and any idea how much front and back bumper would rough estimate??

 

Too bad, if you had the round fog lights I would have switched with you in a heartbeat.

Mine are Arizona Beige but it would not be difficult to paint them black.

Damn and you're in Jersey too.......

 

yeah , too bad u have round fogs

that would of been perfect, ur right in NY

 

Finish will look just like paint if you have them done glossy. I was quoted $60 a piece and I had to remove them myself... Google powder coating and you can see samples.

 

It is right... You need to watch the shipping on a front bumper. Depending on where you are located the freight can be upwards of $100. If you pm me a zipcode I will check the freight for you.

 

dam , thats pretty good

i did google it yesterday , and it really looks like paint,

theres even a few shops in my area, i will check out this weekend

thanks

 

right over the chrome this can be done?

 

yes, it can be done

no, it will not bond properly

 

so it will not hold up?

 

Please do not confuse people with incorrect information! Yes it will hold up just fine, the chrome has to be scuffed so when the powder melts it has something to hold on to, but it will hold up just fine! Call and ask some local shops if you want some more positive information. The guy who is doing mine said it will hold up just fine. Several members here on the board have done it with no issues.

 

Powder coating would be a much better alternative than swapping bumpers with someone. The prices are usually very fair, and its just a 2 day or so wait and you will save money on gas, & buying bumpers that are already dinged of scratched a little bit.
