03/04 trucks ever come with a painted front bumper? (powder coaters in here)
Hey gang,
Does anyone know if the 03/04 silvy's ever came with a painted front bumper or are they always chrome? I'm looking to do a little powdercoating on the truck this summer, however I don't think I've ever seen a painted front bumper for the 03/04 trucks. Can you powdercoat over a chrome bumper? I'm going to "vader" my truck this summer and I want all the chrome off! Even on my wheels, they're going to get powdercoated black. Can you powdercoat over the chrome wheels or am I better off getting a painted set and powdercoating those? Anyways, thanks in advance for any info.

I think the bumper behind the cover on an SS is a bare steel bumper so that is one option. Sandblasting off the chrome is another.
For the wheels, I think those "chrome" factory wheels are just chrome plated tin covers over a regular painted steel wheel. You might just be able to pop them off.

in 03' i believe the only pre-painted one's that are in pewter are for the suburban/tahoe which is the pre-03' front end.
