Saw a matte black Chevy today, covered in mud... talked to the owner... reason it's covered in mud is because it's PITA to keep clean and now he's decided to just "never clean it" and he's going to paint his semi-gloss.. but i think i'll be going with high gloss black...

Has anyone painted their chrome bumpers, mine look preeeeeeeeeetty bad and i want to just paint them or replace them with something better looking (think i'll go with the OEM front and get someone to build a beefier rear)

Taking the licence plates off tomorrow and starting the teardown, clutch said goodbye today :')

Can't paint chrome. Well, you can, but it will chip off. You can sand it, still won't help. Might be able to sand blast it, and get all the chrome off, then re-prep the metal and paint it from there, but thats not guaranteed.

Go with the Gloss black. you want a Custom bumper setup? I know a company near here that does some excellent work.

Well that blows chunks! I think shiping all around is whacking most people in the pocket book!
