The time has come...GM 2500HD PTM Bumper - DONE!

...to paint my front bumper white.

Any suggestions on the best way to prep it would be appreciated. One of my bodyshop guys thinks I am crazy, and says it won't work well. I figured if I sandblasted it, primed and sanded it, it should be good to go! Thoughts?

I got my new tailgate handle from Brian today, and I think I will have it painted as well.

My guy says blast, prime and paint. No problem.

I think if you're going to do something as big as the bumper than you need the grill to go with it, but thats just me. All color matched in the front would look slick.

Thanks for confirming. It's worth a shot, since I can't do the 2011 bumper upgrade!

Are you doing the fangs, the bumper cap and the section around the tow hooks too?

 

[PenguinLTZ]

Fangs and cap. Hook insert will stay black.

Are you going to do the rear too?

No. There will be some chrome up front, some chrome out back, and some chrome on the sides.

It essentially will be exactly like an LTZ half ton. Just like my old truck. Chrome rear bumper, grille, and steps.

I have never seen "your old truck" so I cannot make any accurate judgments or opinions.
