I asked my body shop if they would paint my front bumper cap. They responed. "Yes, we are not going to stand behind it though because of the texture. Even if sanded and preped properly it might last ten months or ten years". Has anyone had any luck doing it this way? If not where do I get a paintable cap? Thanks

 

They do have a point. Painting plastic is always risky. I painted mine myself and its only been a few months but its doing fine.

 

PM Fogle Motorsports (I thought he was a sponsor??) anyway, he'll send you a painted to match cap for a good price. he gets a factory smooth 2006 cap and paints it I think....

 

if you have a 2000 you can get one for a suburban. i have painted many text. top pads and one let loose that was 18 months old. i would allways recommend buying a paintable part when aval.

 

Anyone have a part number?

 

fogle does awesome work he smoothed and painted my textured airdam and the paint is holding up perfect. he has my mirrors and hopefully doing a tailgate handle/bezil for me now

 

I did mine at home and it is holding up nicely. It is all in the prep work, thou. I posted a write up on how it should be done somewhere on here.

 

dont say that the paint will be falling off next week cause you said something

part number for the smooth cap for 99-02 trucks is 88937339

 

thats a double jinx now

 

Thanks guys, I ordered one from my dealer, $120 an it will be here tomorrow.
