    Chrome? Paint doesn’t stick to it.

    I remember reading you have to damage (scruff the hell out them) them to get it to work. I didn’t trust it.

    Right now with our costs, we're looking at $169.99. The group-buy will help reduce our costs on the painting so we should be able to add a good discount. I'll have more specifics on pricing and discount percentages as we get closer.

    The Swirl TPO would be the closest (also the cheapest lol). I think I attached a picture of the Swirl TPO on page 2 of this thread if you wanted to check that out. Matte black would work well too if you wanted to go that route.

    Jumping in to advocate for a run of Blue Pearl. I love the blue on black, but I can't get OEM blue caps without the sensor holes.

    True, BUT you can spray the chrome with PlastiDip, and then paint over the Dip. I've done it successfully before with no problem.

    Where are all your Blue Pearl friends in the poll?! lol. The goal is to get all the colors rolling at least in a limited amount, but for this near-term group-buy we're only doing the 3-4 most popular so it might not make it in this one. I'll see about the cost for a one-off.

    We're not as loud as the Inferno and Quicksand guys. :thumbsup:

    I see a lot of Quicksand and MGM Tacos, so I understand rolling out the in-demand colors first. Will be jumping on blue as soon as they're available!

    First person that I’ve seen otherwise. I’m very happy with my Bumper Shellz. If it chips or what have you, it’s cheaper to replace.

    Plus it can cover up damage from someone (or me hitting something) backing up into my bumper.

    Another reason, I suck at painting and hate it. Was way too easy too install.

    No experience with plastidip and didn’t even think of that.

    Rather just get (and did get) Bumper Shellz.

    I checked and Page 2 has the textured close up photo. I haven't seen any swirl or matte black. Those are the two I am most interested in. Thanks

    :thumbsup:

    I didn't realize the "chrome" bumper is really chromed plastic. I've been out of town since the wife took delivery two weeks ago.

    I'm going to take a shot at just painting my caps. Cost for the primer, paint, and clearcoat is about $40. Worth a shot.

    I hope it comes out the way you like it. If not, Bumper Shellz will cover it up! :thumbsup:
