I'm finally going to get another bumper after months of not having one, and I want to color match it(bumper not the pads), but I have a couple of questions.

First, do I prep and paint it, or do i have it powder coated, I wouldn't mind powder coating long as it matched the color of the truck.

Second, do i start with a W/T bumper or a chrome one?

 

Have it powdered if you can.. Will hold up ten times better and longer then paint it self. Start with a work truck bumper, as the chrome is alot harder to blast off then paint

 

Would a Z71 tahoe rear bumper work? I've got a Summit white truck and I've seen those tahoes with white rear bumpers

 

but will it match the black of the truck or will you be able to tell its off in color.

 

Yes it will match..

 

Tahoe bumpers are way bigger than a truck bumper.

 

Not true.

I just took some rough measurements of my 2000 silv. rear bumper and my wifes 2005 Tahoe Z71 rear bumper.

The truck bumper was roughly 1.5 - 2'' longer than the Tahoe bumper, could have been the design of the plastic cap.

Im betting it will work.

I have a set of black Tahoe Z71 bumpers im going to buff up and install on my truck, i'll let ya guys know if i run into any snags.

 

wheres the proof mudda fuckaa

 

That would be my only concern. Some colors like black may be dead nuts. On a color like Arrival Blue, closest color I can get is a blue candy. I know this for another item.

Anyway, on my color or say a Pewter or Silver Birch, I'd think it'd be something I'd worry bout. I know paint will match, but powdercoat is so durable.

Does anyone have a p/n for a '04 Silvy w/t rear bumper? Or the front too?

 

It may be basically the same part as a Work Truck bumper, but the Sierra Denali’s as well as the C3’s came with body colored rear bumpers. Beings that our rear bumpers are really no more than a sheet metal cover, it shouldn’t cost too much for new replacement unit.
