Ive been thinking about getting my front and rear bumpers and chrome grille painted, but dont know how much $ im looking at. I'm wanting to keep it the same color as the body but not too sure how labor intensive painting chrome is. I will be getting a body shop to do it, so i guess what im asking is has anyone had this done and what were your experiences and how much it cost you. Oh and I was also entertaining the idea of powder coating but not too sure they will be able to match the paint as well.

 

powder coating runs about $150 a bumper and they should be able to match your paint

 

im fixing to have mine powder coated. Since my accident tore up my front one and i have to replace it, minus well do it while its off.

 

thats alot cheaper than what i had in mind, a guy also told me today that he thought he was quoted less than $100 to powder coat some rims. so i may get the rims done too. kinda getting excited cuz this is in my price range. just trying to figure out which will be better.

 

$100 a rim? i would jump all over that deal. I was quoted $200 a rim plus i had to have the tires and valve stem taken off for the baking process, yeah $1000 to have some white wheels.

 

lol i think he said $100 for 4

 

$1000 from this

To this

 

Hey Screw-me-05,
I saw on another thread somewhere that some powder coat companies don't like to do wheels because of throwing them too far out of balance. Did you have any problems?
(By the way, I'm usually a black out guy, but I really like the way your truck looks.)

 

what color is your truck ?

i was surprised how well the powder coat matched the paint, i didnt expect it too match perfectly but its dam close.

heres a pic of my powder coated rear bumper

 

Dark Stone Grey, kinda mixed between brown/grey/silver depends on how the light hits it

 

truck looks good , dont forget about the grill surround and also if you dont need them , id pull off those side steps

 

yep thought about that too and as far as the steps maybe sell to get cash to buy some thing that looks better. the wife would be mad if i took them off shes like 5'4" and she has a hard time getting up in it now lol

 

Do a higher lift where she cant get in at all. Thats when the real fun starts. lol

 

If it was any higher it would be hilarious to watch her try to climb into and I would have to film and post on youtube lol
