Chrome rear bumper dilemma?

Well like many of you. I hate my chrome rear bumper! I recently got rid of the chrome front grill and now it's time to do something with the rear bumper. My question is do you guys think I should have it powdercoated black or have it painted black? My truck is bsp and I could paint it bsp to match the rest of the paint. Not sure what to do? Please help!

 

Rhino Line it maybe

I say get it powder coated if the price is right

 

you could always do a 3M black rubberized undercoat spray on it for a off road look.

 

Just do what i did, wreck the rear bumper so you are forced to buy a new one and with the new one add some kind of bed liner to it!

 

i just did mine yesterday (i would have pics but my wife took our camera to visit family). i did the same method that most are doing with the lower front bumper. primer, rustoleum textured paint to give it that rough bedliner look, then krylon fusion black.
my truck is silver and i think it looks awesome. im sure it would look good on yours too. i think the rugged black bumper with the nice gloss bsp on your truck would look pretty nice.
just my two cents but it seems to be working out for everyone else too.

 

Called a powdercoater and he said $150 to sandblast,pc, and clear. Gloss black or flat black?

 

does the sport models have a flat black rear bumper or is it bsp?

 

its bsp

 

hmm interesting! i might have to consider painting it?

 

I think the LineX or other bed liner idea is best.

 

nobody thinks powdercoating woul be best?

 

can i have some popcorn?^^^

 

the guy said he can powdercoat it black chrome? sounds cool. gonna go check into it in the morning.

 

If you want some texture to the bumper go with the Line-X. If not, then powdercoat it.

$150 is pretty cheap for PC. I doubt you could get it line-x'd for that much.

 

i'm not sure if i like the texture? i want it to match the truck though. maybe a glossy black powdercoat?

 

I sold my chrome skin, and bought a new skin from toyota that came primered, and painted it black. worked out to costing me about $25 in the end!

 

yeah my chrome is kinda in bad shape. i wouldnt want to sell it in its current condition. its looked like crap since it was new. kinda looks hazy and yellowed. i didnt take it back for warranty cause i new i would wanna black it out anyways.

 

If you want to spend a little extra check out this steel plate rear bumper from all pro. p.s. I hate mine too.

I would love to see how your bumper turned out. Please do post pics when you are able.
