Default Nite shade chrome bumper???

Possible? No? Better suggestion???--



Keep in mine this is temporary, Front replacement bumper will be on next year(if all goes well) and rear bumper will either be replaced also or line-x'd.

If you want the matte finish, I would just prep the chrome then rattle can the matte black. I am guessing you are going for an off road look with a true off road bumper coming soon. If you want a gloss finish you will have to clear coat the nite shade....a step alot...ALOT of ppl forget when doing their lights

I tried a chrome rearview mirrow, just had problems around the edges but other then that looked pretty good. A lot smaller then a bumper though lol

sanblast it or take some 40 grit on the DA, grab a can of duplicolor bed coating, will lot better and last longer, yet can be easily stripped for linex when you do that

Thanks for the replys guys.....


It was a dumb op though.... My roommate works at Sioux Plating which is a bumper company they re do both metal and plastic bumpers..........(he paints plastic bumpers) I forgot to ask him, haha. He's going to do it as soon as I hook up his silly euro mirrors on his silverado.... chevy owners.......
