    I'm trying to find a red rear bumper to replace my chrome one on my 2014 Tacoma, I've looked around and couldn't find anything. Anyone know where I could find one?
    Thanks

    Have you thought about getting yours Powder coated? My local shop was going to charge me $50 before I went a different direction. Might be worth checking out:hattip:

    Check out the eco skins, they sell a paintable version of the product.

    A few months after I just purchased my truck; I was rear ended by a minivan; luckily the damage wasn't much. The rear bumper was pushed in a little bit and I manage to pull it back out with a come-along hooked up to a tree. There was a bit of a dent/bend still in the Chrome bumper which really showed so I decided to buy some cheap Bed-liner spray and sprayed the rear bumper with it. Turned out pretty good.

    I removed all the plastic pieces off the bumper and taped up the entire rear of the truck using some painters plastic (prevent overspray). I didn't even remove the rear bumper. I scuffed up the rear bumper with some scuff pads to prep it; then used wax/grease remover to clean the bumper. Bought some etching primer; sprayed that on then sprayed the bed liner stuff. Just sprayed nicely away and it turned out looking pretty good. The small dent/bend is not even there; can't see it anymore. Just to give you an idea; I think its best to spend money elsewhere than to get a color-matched bumper but of course if you rather have it color matched you can scuff up the chrome and spray it with that dupli-color match spray.

    Looks great man...:thumbsup:... I'm a huge fan of Black bumpers rather then chrome or color matched. Oh and the methods look sexy:D
