50/50 muriatic acid and hydrogen peroxide will strip the chrome off the plastic and be perfect to sand and paint, then I just roughed up the chrome on the bumpers by blasting it and powder coated it to match. The factory chrome isn't bad and if you seal it up with paint or powder, it shouldn't corrode or peel.

How easy of a process is this? Assuming some adhesive would need to

be replaced?

 

Been thinking of this swap myself, but am still conflicted. Give me a few days to think it over, granted you don't find someone in the meantime. I'm located in Dayton as well, and a perfect match ;)

 

2017 Z71, about a month old, 1500 miles on it.

Any of your buddies want my chrome for their Siren Red parts? It doesn't hurt to ask right lol76cc69fa7c06a2df3aedb37197c4509f.jpg

There would be no need for adhesive since we have the same headlights we could just swap complete headlights without having to worry about removing the trim. It would only take us an afternoon to do the swap. Can do rear bumpers as well if you want. Just let me know.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone with siren red!!

 

DeepBlue17, im assuming all parts are in VG condition? :) yes, if I decide to do the swap back bumper would be a plus as well. I work 12's and my next off day is Monday. I will know by then, granted you don't find someone else in the meantime.

Yes. My truck is only 3 weeks old. So she's in perfect condition. I work nights Mon thru Thurs. Give it some thought and let me know. Already color matched is definitely a huge plus. Thanks

Excellent thanks. Mine was just clay barred, sealed and waxed using Adams Polishes, so no need to worry on your end. Give me the night and I'll respond here probably late morning/early afternoon tomorrow.

 

Thanks!

Ethan
