removing front and back bumpers

[WhoDatPanic]

so one of these days i am going to start working on my bumpers is it really as hard as everyone says to remove the bumpers ? i have a 2003 tahoe.. i tried searching this forum but couldn't find exactly what i was looking for... i want to paint the front and back bumpers to color match to my tahoe, i already painted the grille, rear vents, and mirrors.. can i just paint the valence and the chrome after stripping it of course and the bottom valence where the fogs are or do i have to remove the plastic valence pieces ? much help would be appreciated thanks!

I've actually never heard that they are difficult to remove but this is a good question. I want paint my bumpers soon too and this would be good to know. Bump fro the bumper question.

Bringing up old thread, getting some z71 bumpers, front and rear. Done it before but cant remember, any one know what size bolts they are for the front and rear? Have to swap out my chrome for thier black ones. Same as op, couldn't find much for an answer. (honestly didnt search that hard either) ha ha

Make sure you use the proper bolts... Grade 8 or better, and do not use stainless steel.
