Who has powder coated bumpers?

[Joe_Brock]

What kind of prep did you have to do to the bumpers? (remove plastic and what not).

just remove the bumpers and pop off the trim. rear bumper is 12 15mm bolts and 3 trim pieces. the front it even less bolts and the top piece pops on and the bottom valence is held on with plastic push pins. its not hard to get off.

 

[Mr.Jack]

Got any pictures of the rear bumper?

Do you have to get the bumpers de-chromed for them to powdercoat? Cuz I thought you can't powdercoat chrome? I've always wanted mine white.

I was told it had to have the chrome removed by the person that was initially going to powder coat mine.

Yeah, you don't powder coat over chrome. A powder coater should be able to do the media blasting and prep. Like MrBalll stated. Btw, Ryan, Powder coating your bumpers white would set it off. I would definitely do it to your truck.

Would they be able to color match the champaign/ pewter color!?!

 

[MrBalll]

Should be able to. Powder coating comes in many, many, many colors.
