Really? No one has painted their rear bumper covers black???

No one? No pics of white to black rear bumpers on a white truck? Come on.....

 

Doesn't make sense when New SR bumpers can be had for $240.

 

Back until about 1950, all my relatives painted all their car and truck bumpers black. Different reason, though.

 

Thanks for the pic. Are you saying you bought black bumper covers? You could easily take them off. sand and spray them for the cost of a spray can. You wanted to keep the white covers?

 

Why would you take a brand new truck and spray paint the bumper instead of just getting a black bumper?

 

So you don't have to spend more $

 

Save $250 by modifying a brand new $40k truck with spray painted bumpers? Throwing good money after bad.

 

Now that black plastic needs to be covered in spray on bed line.

 

If you want to do it cheap, why not plasti-dip? Scuff and spray bomb will look like ass, and there's no going back.

 

I did that to mine 5 years ago, still looks the same as when I did it.

 

Why would they? Looks ugly as hell and clearly plenty think the same way.

 

For $240 and some labor you can get black SR plastic. Will look good out of the box. The black won't chip, peel or scratch. Can always undo to factory.

vs

Small $ for paint, and a bunch more labor (prep). It may or may not look good depending on skill. Will chip, peel, and scratch. No going back to factory without a trip to a body shop.

It's your truck, do what you want, but I know which path I'd take.

 

Cheap rattle can spray paint on a new $50K truck?? Hell no...

If I couldn't afford a $240 factory black bumper, I definitely would not have bought the truck.

 

Yea I don't quite understanding making a higher trim level truck look like a lesser one

 

That looks good. The first pic is sanded and the second is painted?

 

If I don't like it, why can't I go buy the same OEM covers to get back to factory?

 

Some have done it by buying OEM covers. Some have done it with paint. Some just bought the TRD Pro.

 

I don't know what to say to this guy. I don't think he wants me to remove the bumper covers and paint them.

 

The TRD Pro has black bumpers.

 

I know someone on here did paint their bumper corners and it looked good. I just would not use a can of Rustoleum. I don't think you will be happy after a few months...

The factory black bumper for $240 seems like a good option for sure.
