Not sure if this is the right spot to post this or not, but I'm looking to get my chrome bumpers painted, What Does That Usually cost? And any one in dallas recommended? Thanks

A friend of mine can do it for you. Keep in mind that if/when u get rock chips on the front bumper, the chrome can/will show through. Pm me if interested. He's in seagoville.

If you paint match the bumpers cover it with a clear bra and it will eliminate the rock chip/ chrome showing through.

^^What he said. I have the 3M protection on my Tahoe, hood + fenders. The bra kit is what you want for any vehicle that you want to keep looking nice.

Ok I'll keep that in mind about your friend. I found a paintable rear bumper but can't find a paintable front piece.

How much do the clear bras run? And what happens when you power wash?
