Chrome Bumper-- Painted black?

Ok, so Im looking to get all the nasty chrome off of my truck. Is there a GOOD way to paint over the chrome with black? I have seen others use spray on bedliner, but Im wanting to do something without having to buy a new bumper. Im not opposed to the bedliner idea, but just dont know. Thoughts?

I've never painted chrome, but I imagine; you'd want to really sand on it, then apply an adhesion promoter/primer, then paint it black.

 

HAve you considered bedliner?

 

So would that bedliner be the kind that comes in a spray can? Im not really into paying the money for line-x.

 

Krylon fusion spray paint......wet sand before and clearcoat after(optional)

It looks bitchin and has held up for over a year with no issues

And its only 6 bucks

 

here are my bumpers after i bedlined them...........brushed on herculiner.......




i did the same thing.....deleted all my chrome!!!

 

I used duplicolor spray on bedliner and heres the result

 

Those all look good. Bedliner vs. duplicolor? Im on the fence now. Biggest thing, I just dont want to do this, and then it look like shit in 3 months.

 

Will tacomaman06 actually took his time me i did everything on the truck quick process and sanded it down and sprayed it on i would go will's way look alot more durable if i could do it over i would do a better process but i dont care it does the job lol.

 

thanks bro!!

i did my bedlinered bumpers this past summer.............still holding up really well. trust me...that herculiner aint going anywhere.

 

Did you guys take the bumper off to do this?

 

nah... i left mine on. i did take off the plastic top cap and the tag lights out as well...made prep alot easier doing it this way also.

 

I didnt take it off just taped some newpaper where i thought some over spray might happened and went from there.

 

while we are on the topic, i bought my taco w/a painted skid plate, the black paint is starting to chip, so i bought duplicolor bed liner, and i was going to spray that on, should stick & hold a whole lot better, anyone have any thoughts??

thanks

I would use what you got and if it scratches up all you have to do is paint that spot since its a skid plate i wouldnt worry to much about it. but thats just me

 

i had mine color matched by a buddy of mine who paints cars. he just ruffed it up then applied an adheisive then color matched it. he took off the bumper and took off the caps.

i cant post the pics due to being on my work laptop check out the pics under my gallery. this was done a few months ago and it still looks new

Thanks buddy. This is at the top of the list to do once it gets warm outside. I've been procrastinating.
