Default paint?

does anybody know if you can paint the stock "bumper cap" on the 99-02 gmc sierra 1500's

if its not painted already, and is the plastic rough grey...


can i just get a body shop to use fine grit sandpaper to sand it down and in the end will it have the same gloss/finish of the stock one?


thanks,

Nate

You can/could paint anything, but it would be cheaper to just buy the smooth bumper cap that comes on the LT trucks. It's only like $65 through GMpartsdirect.com and would likely cost more for the labor to smooth the stock one. You'll get a better end result as well.
