Do you plan on painting bumper yourself? If so with what paint? Bed liner?

 

Haha i havent put pictures of my new truck up yet. Its 09 Bar. Red. So i dont think white will do lol. The white one was my old 05.

 

It has the stock bed liner, i want to paint the bumper black. not sure what type of paint.

 

Have it powdercoated

 

heres mine in black.rattle can,flat black.i now have the bhlm as well.go for it.

 

Oh! I retract my statement then...that would look horrid lol

Black on Barcelona Red will look good

 

People just need to start buying the Sport Edition Tacoma's!!!

 

for the front grill you just have to sand it all down and get as much chrome off and just use krylon fusion paint bc its just plastic underneath the chrome crap. I did the emblem and the inside of the grill black. Just havnt done the chrome part yet. As for the rear bumper your best bet is to get it powder coated. It will hold up a lot better than painting it yourself.

 

or people with Sport editions need to start selling theirs!!!

 

Painting a chrome bumper would most likely give you a bad paint job on chrome which would be a PITA to get looking right and keep it that way. You'd have to sand the hell outta the chrome at the least and sandblast it at best to get good adhesion not to mention the intermediate steps of application. If you really hate your chrome bumper I'd sell it to someone who wants it and then buy an aftermarket or make one/ have one made. My experience has been painting chrome should be a last resort.

 

The BHLM will make your truck even sweeter. Still a sweet truck.

 

Or if they want black they should buy the base model

 

The BHLM will make your truck even sweeter. Still a sweet truck. DONE.
