Painted Chrome Bumper

It's the lazy man's mod.

 

Are the chrome pieces hard to take off?

 

Its basically covers or skin that cover over the chrome bumper.

 

The rattle cans arent meant for large areas AND you didnt put enough layers if it pealed and you had a hard time removing it... the KEY is to have a thick layer of rubber so it will come off as one peice

 

Thats too bad but thats how it goes sometimes i guess haha. I've used vinyl wrap for a few different things. It is sort of a pain in the ass on complex shapes and curves but on something like a roof it might be ideal.

Its weird too me how the tacoma can have a chrome, color matched or black bumper. I kind of wish they just color matched it by default.

 

kinda would make more sense huh

 

Does anyone make color-matched wrap material? That would be ideal.

 

A local shop will do custom vinyl to color match whatever paint you bring in but of course it costs more money. I'm sure many other shops do this however I'm not sure there is a way to order it ready to go online.

 

I painted my bumper 2.5 years ago. Still looks perfect today. Did a write up here
