Painting bumpers

[suicide67]

What doesn't cost for a pair of paintable bumpers for a limited? I'd like to do them body color?

I did mine over winter.. I removed the bumperettes, welded, sanded, filled and primed them myself. Took them to the paint shop and had them sprayed. Cost about $350.00. Here's a before and after pic..

If you have chrome bumpers and want them painted you can take them to a place that does powdercoating and get them either powdercoated or just blasted with Aluminum Oxide then painted. I know my Powder coater charges $55 an hour for just blasting. The blasting will remove the chrome plating leaving a paintable surface.

It requires lots of work to ready a bumper for paint to have a clean look.

There are about 30 holes to be filled in each bumper.

The reinforcement piece is cut down and welded to the bumper in two sections to save weight.

Here is a pair of GN modified bumpers waiting for paint:

Got mine redone in gloss black powdercoat for $400. Removed and reinstalled them myself. They match perfect and no rock chips. Took about 3 weeks to get them back from the powdercoater though.
