Spray bedliner over chrome on stock bumpers?

Anybody have any thoughts on blacking out the chrome on my bumpers using Rhinoliner? I'm thinking I may do it.

 

I'd probably just rough up the chrome with a scotchbrite pad, maybe use some etching primer and go for it. Should work out just fine.

 

Rear:

Front:

Mine is further to the right. Left truck has painted bumper so you can compare.

 

It holds up very well. Had it done over a year ago. Not a single scratch on it. Super solid. LINE-X

 

Oh. My. God.

 

So sick

 

Looks great @TheBeast

 

and before....all that chrome....

 

I think it would look great on your quicksand.

 

@TheBeast I do too! I'm doing it! Thanks brotha!

 

I had mine done with Bullet Liner. As well as the plastic center "skid plate"

 

that looks fckin awesome!

 

Thanks. I'm pretty pleased as well.

 

@JStorm that looks rediculiously awesome. I was thinking of doing mine myself with the roll kit because it's just the bumperettes. If it came out bad I'd have it professionally done. Anyone had a crack at it themselves?

 

Any issues with getting/keeping the bumpers clean after having the line x done? I would think with all the crevices it would be hard to keep it looking nice? The local guy quoted me 200 for all 4 bumper corners but after seeing this I may do the plastic as well.

 

Are you guys removing the front bumper caps to do that or spray them in place? The PIA of removing the front caps is the only reason mine are still chrome.

 

@71_340 for bedliner most are removing, the plastidip not removing.

 

I sprayed mine a couple weeks ago with raptor liner from Amazon. I removed the front and rear caps, roughed all the chrome with 80 grit, sprayed with etching primer and then sprayed the liner on. Hopefully it'll hold up.

 

How is it holding up? I might do this to my tundra.

 

mine have held up amazing! Two years no touch up. I live in a beach town and travel to the desert a lot and it’s held up in all environments

 

Would you have done anything different? How long of a job is it?

 

Ah man that looks sick! I've just purchased a white Tundra and am strongly considering doing this-uve got way too much chrome on it

 

Subbed for future mod!chrome has to go asap lol

 

Question for ya! Do you have blind spot monitors? If so do they still work with the bed liner over the rear bumpers?

 

I did my bumper right after I got it.
Step 1- 85 grit on orbital sander
Step 2- bullydog self etch primer
Step 3- Monstaliner roll on bedliner

Held up AWESOME and more importantly, it washes up great bc it isn’t as textured as most other liners.

 

Is monstaliner the go-to for DIY bedliner? I want to bedliner both my front and rear bumpers. Thanks!

 

Any pics? So roll on not spray?

 

roll on....

Interesting idea. Looks good

 

I like this idea. I've got my caps plastidipped with Anthracite Gray and it's held up ok, but some spots are starting to peal off and I want a more permanent option that doesn't include spending $1k on factory matched plastic caps. I just went to the Monstaliner site and request a few of the gray chips to see if one is close-ish to MGM 1G3. I'll report back with what I find.
