    On the factory color-keyed bumpers, do they just use the stick-on bumper caps over a base black or chrome bumper or are the bumper ends actually painted?

    Oddly enough, I'm considering changing a factory color match bumper to a different factory paint color and am wondering the best way to do it.

    The factory colormatched bumpers are actually urethane. Only the chrome bumpers are metal. If you're wanting to change colors it would be a direct replacement. Hope this helps!

    Gotcha. So for the front and rear bumpers, I would just need to order the matte black end caps, have them painted, then swap them with the current body color end caps. I'm curious how matte silver factory bumpers might look on a different color truck. Kinda old school FJ40 style.
