I agree with the painted bumper part but its really hard to get paint to stick to it. Im still trying to find a way to get paint to stick to mine. Thinking about buying a sport pumper cover if i can find one.

to blast chrome off you can probably just use regular sand. its super cheap. There is other stuff out there that might cut faster but for a do it yourself deal just go with silica sand.

Cayuse66,

Awesome idea

I love the finished look on the truck.

I'm on my way to the shop to pickup some paint!!! I have decided to paint mine the same color as the truck to try and be a little bit original.
