Changed The Front A Little


Recommended Posts

Still going to keep the grill chrome but just had the bumper removed, sand blasted and painted all the labor and complete job was only $250.00, had it done in Little Rock. Same place that's painting my 67 Camaro.

Color matched bumper FTW!!!! I love the look and hope to get it done on my truck in the near future.

 

I am on travel and the I flew the wife out to see me, she dropped it off for them at the airport and they returned to the airport, she just picked it up and told me they debadged it also. We talked about it but i was not sure if I wanted to do it so I left up to my painter/body/Camaro resto guy. It also makes the mail slot almost disapear also!!

 

She called me and said WOW!! she can't belive much a few little thing really changed the look of it. She really likes it. She was kinda on my case about doing it since it's brand new :fume:

 

She now has more trust in my Camaro paint plans now which is good. It was going to cost $100.00 or so to park at the airport, so it's like getting the job done for $150.00 and she got curbside valet service with the truck which was very cool of them to do. It looks deserving of that #3 plate in front now.

 

BTW: I bought that plate in 1998 at Daytona when Dale won it, it's signed on the back. I never put it on anything until I bought this truck.

Looks a ton better. I always hated the way those bumpers were just a little chrome strip in the center. I like the way my GMC goes all the way across.

You could not have chosen a better vehicle to throw it on! Make sure to fasten it down with some secure fasteners, especially now that its out you have it signed......haha.

Damn nice. I'm in the middle of painting my rear bumper and grille. What prep did they do for the chrome (sanding, bead balsting, etc)??

Looks awesome! Congrats :)

 

Sometimes I think I'd like to do that to mine, to look more like the denali's (which I like) but I still like the overall look of my truck the way it is too.

When I did my truck we blasted the chrome off and then painted it like normal. This is the best way of doing it.

 

Before I got it professional done I tried painting my rear bumper, I sanded the chrome and then painted but I had the paint chipping off in two monthes.
