View Full Version : Painting over chrome?! Matt S Aug 13 2001, 06:31pm Does anybody know if my chrome bumper and grill can be painted over to match my truck? ChrisC97 Aug 13 2001, 06:41pm You would have to strip the chrome off. IMO your better off just finding a bumper from an xl ranger or something. And then selling your chrome one. Mike R. Aug 13 2001, 07:39pm like he said, thats the best thing you could do is buy one thats "unchromed" like the XL.. thats wha i'd do:) its hard work to sandblast that chrome off the bumpers.. & as for the grill, its chrome plated plastic & doesn't take to sandblasting very well. hehehe Matt S Aug 13 2001, 09:13pm thats what I thought.. Thanks! Mike R. Aug 13 2001, 09:19pm no prob man:) Tate Aug 13 2001, 11:23pm If I were you, I'd just pull the plastic off the bumpers and paint that. That is what I did to mine, and I think it looks pretty good. The chrome accents it nicely, and you aren't stuck withe the gray-brown plastic still.
