For the bumpers, I'd save the money and have your chrome ones sand-blasted and then powdercoated. I need to have my front bumper powdercoated, cause I just had it painted to match and it's chipping. For the grille, I have a almost new W/T grille sitting in my garage. I started sanding the texture out to have it painted and changed my mind. If you like, PM me, and I sell it to you cheap.

I might do the powdercoating thing. I was thinkin about it today and my Dad has suspension parts powdercoated for the snowmobile rear suspensions we build like everyday so I think I can get a good deal on that. I would just buy the W/T rear bumper cuz mine has a dent in it..

if you decide to be careful because most powdercoats dont have the gloss or sheen of a painted surface. also matching the color maybe harder to do . Black isnt just black. my 01 gmc was black but when you mix the paint it calls for 2 different tints of red and i believe it was 2 different tints of yellow and depending on the plant that manufactured it , there are six variances of that paintcode.

Werd!! That's why I chose to keep the textured bumper cap, to seperate the 2 different blacks. Looks good, you can't notice it. Most of the factory blacks have a "brown" look to it.
