I have been wanting to do something with the front end of my cc for a while and I really like the Joe Gibbs front end but hard to find so I have decided to paint all the bumper parts but my bumper is chrome so I was wondering can I sandblast the chrome off at home with my air compressor!

 

Yes it should come off. I sandblasted a trailer two weeks ago with chrome fenders that had some rust spots and it came all off to bare metal.

 

Yes you can... I would have it powdercoated but that me. It will last longer and hold up alot better then paint will/would

 

If you want pain to last longer on metal parts like that, heat them up some with a torch then paint it. adheres much better but don't over do it or you can warp the part

 

Or you could just powdercoat it....

 

You have to strip the chrome off before you can powder coat it I'm pretty sure.

 

just order a work truck bumper and call it a day

 

Yeah the cheapest I have found those for are $200 dollars shipped I would be over half way to a bumper cover, I had my dad ship my portable sandblaster from KS. I hope it works save some money!

 

Well I got my sandblaster back from my father and I just got done sand blasting the bumper it seems like it worked either took the chrome off or etched it very well can't tell but I used medium grain sandblasting sand now I just need to get some primer on it and order the east coast customs lower facia and clolor match the whole thing.

bag of sand. $5.69

new primer bumper. $200.00 dollars shipped
