SOLD

EDIT: SOLD

I am selling the chrome bumper caps for 2016-2017 tacomas. These caps were taken off my truck and replaced with color matched, and no longer have a use. Local pick up preferable, however will ship if buyer pays. $50 for the set or $25 for individual cap, OBO. Located in the Denver area.

 

are chrome hard to paint over? what made you choose replacement instead of painting over?

 

I just don't have very much experience when it comes to painting. I went into a body shop telling them what I wanted to do and they said it's best to get new plain bumper caps and paint over those. Sanding down the chrome and painting over they said would not be the easiest for some reason but I forgot exactly what they said. I think other forums on TW go more in depth on that but I'm not sure the details on it haha

 

I read on a someones headlight mod that they sprayed Easy Off oven cleaner on the chrome to take it off so it is a better paintable surface. Dont know if that works or not.

 

I read about that too. I'd love to find a victim local to video that. Lol

I painted my caps 4 months ago by using adhesion promoter, primer, base coat then clear coat. No issues so far. I forgot to really scuff up the plastic chrome either.
