Saying goodbye to chrome with powder

I powdercoated the four chrome bumper caps and installed a TRD Pro grill.

I know I wouldn't find an exact match with powder but I managed to get close & boil it down to"Dark Grey Sparkle" and "Cadillac Grey". The "Cadillac Grey" seemed to be a shade too dark in most lighting situations although the color was close, which is why I chose the "Dark Grey Sparkle".

Whats weird about lighting and colors is when I look at my truck I feel like it is a 99% match. Its only when I take a picture do I see the difference. Overall I'm extremely happy with the results. So much better now that the chrome is gone.

Even if it’s a little darker I like it...it looks good like that

 

Definite improvement, I'm a fan of the monochromatic look.

 

My thoughts exactly!!

 

Looks great ! Please come to Western PA and do this to my 2019 Limited

 

Your truck looks outstanding. Great job.

 

That looks awesome

 

Great work!
You may start a new trend!

 

Looks great!

 

How did u go about getting those color samples?

 

Looks awesome. Mind sharing cost?

 

I paid a local company $250 for the powder coating

I ordered about 12-13 samples. It was pretty cheap.

Thanks

 

$250 for front and back? Did that include sandblasting? This is something I want to get done by summer and it is confusing the hell out of me. Go your route or get the bumper covers. This route is half the cost but also requires removing the parts. But the covers will be about $600. That's a big difference. Thanks!

 

Might have to copy you.

 

Yeah, you're truck looks similar.

 

When talking to the powder coating company they told me they’ve seen good results powder coating over OEM chrome. This was a coat of color and clear
