Color match bumpers...on 14-15 Sierra/Silverado

[bholden]

So now that we have established that the chrome bumpers can be powder coated.....I don't think I have anybody near me does that ...can they be painted with regular car paint ...with the right prep??

My bumpers are metal. Just vinyl wrap them. Fraction of the cost and not to difficult to do.

 

AND, they won't chip!

Of course, that's what they are from the factory.

But my question about the original color match bumpers...are they metal or plastic??

Metal. There are no plastic bumpers on the the Silverado or Sierra.

you have to look for a powder coating place near you. I'm in Austin tx so I found one with good reviews and went with it. They did a very good job with it. It's powder coated with what they call "wet black". They don't have paint codes like a body paint shop

you can get bumpers powder coated to match your paint coat code, but it's expensive as they have to special order a box for just that - so, if you're going to do it, you should have a few parts to powder coat to justify the approx. $750 cost for that special order color of powder coat. good thing is that the box ordered is just yours so you can use it for anything in the future. Bad thing is it is expensive! I checked into it because I have a summit white and it's much harder to match up tones of white when powder coating, they just aren't quite the same color....

Would the silver color GMC uses be hard to match? I was thinking of having the chrome painted the silver color unless you guys think the black (like what surrounds the grille) would be a better match?

What wrap paper did you used? Color code and brand? Thank you.

Anyone do a two tone vinyl wrap?

 

I've got the chrome bumpers as well, and thought it might be cool/different to have the bumpers, mirrors, door handles, chrome on grille (or entire grille), and maybe some other small accent parts vinyl wrapped in a matte dark grey or matte black (leaning more towards dark grey just because it'll give a little contrast). Don't know if this will look good but in any case the bumpers need to not be chrome.

 

Truck is black...

 

Could do a sweet racing stripe off center to add horsepower but maybe add that later

A matte gray would look ok but would probably resemble a WT truck colored bumper....

I want to color match my bumpers, but not with paint, plasti-dip or vinyl wrap. I actually want them bla\ck chromed. That way they're color matched while still having the chrome finish and be more durable. Haven't looked into any cost since I'm not able to do it yet. I was going to wait until I'm able to get it done before I actually go around finding out the cost.

I am getting my rear bumper wrapped on Tuesday, following week later my front bumper to match in White
