What to do with Chrome bumpers... line-X?

Gc88 · March 6, 2015

I'm going Black and Red with my truck, what do I do with the Bumpers? A shop told me they would Line-X the bumpers for 175 if I brought them to the? What do you think that would look like?

What about something like this?

If you're goin for an offroad look that is. You get functionality and the look.

You can recoup some of your money by selling the old ones.

I have thought about putting the Linex on the Black parts of my bumper, seems to hold up really well.

If you decide to do this, let me know how it goes! I've given a lot of thought to doing this or even just pulling all the plastic and using some Rustoleum truck bed liner from Home Depot. I did that on my old Yukon and it helped tremendously to improve traction and the look. Especially since all the plastic was starting to fade on that old car lol

EDIT:

Also let me know how to remove the plastic from the rear bumper. I haven't looked much into it and would like to know so I can spray the plastics.

What's your main goal with the truck? Look good? Function? Just curious cause if you are going black and red then I agree with going to an off-road bumper. If you are going off-road bumper I'll say the most amazing I've seen are brand new. Check out AZNIKKO on Instagram. He just got a sick set up for his 14' Silverado! Extremely jealous of the bumpers he has [emoji16]

I definitely don't want to spend 3 grand in bumpers.

I got a new bumper for my 03 silverado because the old one rusted through and I painted it with duplicolor truck bed liner in a arisol can. I did not like how the liner went on, but i like the look it gave the truck. At a distance the bumper looks flat black until you get up close then you can see the texture in it. looks really good. Would definatly recomend it. I kept the plastic part normal and just painted the metal part. The bumper I got was not chrome it was just primed and ready to paint. I would also recomend painting the backside of the bumper with under coating. I used rustolem undercoating and I was really impressed with it.

Line-x them! $175 is a great price! Line-x will hold up to almost anything. Plastidip will chip away.

I would plastidip them see if it what you wanted the truck to look like then if you like it after a few weeks line x them. I would hate to pay 175 for something then not like it a few weeks later

I am REALLY interested in LineXing the black wheelwell mouldings on my truck. I saw a pic of someone who did it and it looked great.

I agree you may want to plastidip them first to make sure you like the look, but then LineX them if you do as that will hold up much better than plastidip.
