need some advice.

should I black out my bumper? if so what would hold well on this chromed out bumper. I'll be doing the emblems for sure.

 

sorry about the crappy picture. damn sun wouldn't permit. hahahha

 

Black...plastidip

 

ok. would I have to prep it first?

 

Hell no on plastidip. Line-X Premium is the way to go.

 

Hmmm

 

line X the chrome bumpers. that's what I did. still looks new almost 3 years later.

 

looks rough too. kinda like rhino liner. I like alot. I don't mind paying extra for the longevity.

 

I used this for my grille and bull bar. You can get it at Autozone.
I plan on either vinyl wrapping the bumper or using this product again. I just haven't had the energy to pull the bumper.

Looks great. It needs a couple touch ups (I rammed some shopping carts) and probably isn't bulletproof like a professional line x job but for $20 and half a day I am happy.

 

key is prep work on chrome. if you remove the bumper and scuff the chrome yourself, it might save you $$. then bring it disassembled to line x shop and have them spray it.

 

I agree.
I spent about 2 hours prepping my grille. Last thing I would want is my truck to look like shit because I was lazy.

I like that line-x look. Gives the truck a nice rugged look. I’ve done it to a couple of my trucks in the past. I was always pleased with the finished product. It looked good.

 

I’d address the headlights before worrying about chrome delete

 

That looks great! Just curious did you do the front and rear bumpers. If so, how is the front about cleaning getting bugs off and such?

 

yep..both. easy to wash. brush and soap like you would clean the bed

 

If you have a post on the process to do this, can you provide URL?
