How to Paint Chrome Bumpers! CHEAP (6.7 Dually CH 6) 

3 years later and it’s still by far one the best Spray can vids 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I don't know what you do for a day job BUT, you could teach the art of posting video content. It's nice to see someone that takes their time to not only show the process (clearly), explain how its done, show the actual products used do it at a pace that we can follow along. Great project... nd the bumper came out awesome as well (; THANKS!!!

When you click to see dude paint a bumper and he puts in lights first instead. I love it 🤣

Thanks for that video Sir, my painter said (chrome cant be painted) your video brought my hopes back and way cheaper than replacing the bumper and grill for the aftermarket black ones.

Did this to my truck because it had a small dent in it. Didn’t want to replace it but cutting it out and putting in pod lights wired to the reverse ended up being a great idea. Don’t know how I did without them before!!! Been seeing this a lot lately… words gotten out. Aux reverse lights inserted into rear bumper. Very useful. Great job!!!!! Looks amazing!

End result looked good. Just two things you should consider next time you paint. All ways wash the part before sanding. If you don't you end up pushing contaminants into the item. Also please use a respirator. There is some wicked chemicals in paint. Well done video and it looked good.

Following this exact method right now on my 2014 F-150. Seems like the best way to do it out of the 100 other videos I watched. Thanks!

I’m restoring my 99 f150 and watching this was very helpful thanks

Now you need to do the same treatment to the mirrors. Also one of the grilles that says RAM would look pretty sweet all painted to match.

That truck is a perfect blend of rowdy and gorgeous.

Very nice job! Been looking for a good spray can video. Very helpful results look amazing. I dig the light install as well.

That really made the back end look beast. Everything’s tied up nicely now. I’d just say maybe the finishing touch would be to change out the license plate lights! Hope to see that.

Flawless Victory. Excellent job man.

I am making a shopping list and heading out right now...

I was gonna plasti dip my chrome bumper but this video definitely has me thinking otherwise

Great video! Perfect instructions! Now I'm going to paint the chrome off my Tundra! Thanks for the video

Another awesome video. Love this build series. Huge fan. Been waiting for this bumper vid.

Great video bruh. I'm looking to do my front bumper and your video just gave me the step to complete the task..

Wow that is one nice looking truck. It’s nice to see all of these subtle mods that I didn’t think would do very much but, really add to the overall big picture. Well done.

Nice to see some one not half ass with plasti dip

This video makes a lot more since the. All the others! Thanks 🙏🏼

The process is good.. I would sand the etching primer and add 2 coats before the regular lacquer primer, sanding between coats to remove scratches.. Also, invest in an inexpensive spray gun and buy good quality automotive finishing products. The crap in rattle cans does not compare. The results you got will last longer with quality products. For those of you who watch and wonder about matching color; Silver is hard to do because it has suspended metallic particles in the liquid binders. Also, there are about a million different silver shades. the size of the metallic particles will directly reflect how the light shows the color. Automotive paint, through a spray gun, can be mixed more accurately that what you will get from a spray can. Overall, the job was well done.. Please don`t forget the respiration protection... there is isocyanates in the paint that will cause health issues eventually.. Ventilation is a good idea as well.. The atmosphere can quickly become combustible... Thanks for the video.. It`s good to see people showing others what can be accomplished if you just wanna do it.

The sandpaper to scuff it and scratch it to give an area for the paint to grip hold off and be able to sit and stay.

Try using cardboard like it was the bumper, when the light fits through the hole in the cardboard. Then you can use it to draw your holes in bumper that are the correct size.

You did a great job and it looks fantastic! Looks better than factory. I think I would have added one led pod light to each corner of the bumper as well since it would not require any more real work and it would light up the rear sides of the truck when backing up as well. Anyway. it looks great!!!

This is sick Dude, thanks for the tips. I think I'm gunna steal that rear light Idea, I like that! Props.

Great job, looks excellent. Glad you took the time for all the steps to make it last. Well worth it....

looks so much better, big ups on doing it your self 💪

Great job

Well Done!! Looks Badass!!

Love the look and style. Great job!

First time viewer of your channel, nice work! Bumper looked great! I'll be back for more!👍

Love the lights in the back!

Outstanding work. Very nice truck as well.

You did an amazing job by the way and I like those lights

I think I will just pay the wrap guy the $200 he wants to wrap it gloss black to match my truck hahaha

i painted some chrome handles on my 66van .. same way but used adhesion spay also. i figured why not

Hell of a job men! Love the videos!

Awesome video bro i like the way it came out.. Just would like to see an updated Video on how is it holding up i also want to do this to my truck... Thanks

Id love to see a "6 months Later" video on how the bumper is doing.

Dude awesome. Do you have a video related to how and where you connected those reverse lights to?

Looks so so so much better!!! I need to to this to my truck! Hate the chrome. Were you get the paint code spray paint can done?

I think ya did an excellent job and made a great video. Going to do the same thing to my Ram power wagon. Thanks.

Looks good af! 💪🏻

Makes me want to paint mine. Nice job

This was good. Everyone says you can’t paint chrome. Can you make a video on how to do the grill. Subbed

10/10 video thank you so much this is the most helpful video i have seen thank you so so much

You tackled some issues i was worried about and your end result looks fantastic! I too wonder about durability in the fiture of the paint.

Clean as hell good job

I like the video man keep up the good work I think it looks a lot better

@FS2S - 4 years later, do you have photos/comments of how this paint job held up?

So freaking dope dude. Just gave me an awesome idea for my Powerstroke. What front bumper is that bro

Nice vid! and i think we may be "neighbors". Parker? Anywho, how has this held up so far?

I'm wondering if you could set a separate wiring connection to be able to turn at least 1 set of those lights on with a switch without putting the truck in reverse. In other words, having both sets of lights to turn on when u set truck in reverse, & have at least 1 of the 2 sets to also be able to turn on by pressing a switch from the inside.

Amazing video. You did a very good job, thanks for the knowledge and inspiration.

Awesome job

Thanks great video.

Damn bro, that's badass!

nice job it looks great. wish I had the patience to do the same thing with my cummins

Wow that came out awesome nice job 👍🏻

No clear coats over the paint? Lol, nvrmnd saw it at end you did do clear coats

Nicely done!

Great video, thanks. Question after 2 years how's the paint holding up? Joe

Badass job dude!!!

Brotha you gotta wear a mask please. Great video wishing you great health and much success.

That’s dope and sweet truck man

I'm always conflicted on projects like this yes you can complete the project but with the amount of time it takes and with my two days the only two days that I have off do I want to spend my whole day to save $800 which is probably roughly what someone else will charge you at a body shop to paint match this to your truck it's always tough time is valuable

looked so good i finally got the guts to do mine

Kick ass jib on both the lights and painting. I wonder, are the lights on an aux-switch or, they simply tied in to the reverse lights.

OMG !!! looks BAD ASS !!!!!

This looks sick dude

Beautiful job👍👍

Great Video, about how much primer paint etc did you have to use??

Well done sir 👍 Its officially on the to do list. Any clever ideas for taking a bend/tweak out of a bumper? Other than hooking up a chain and pulling it out with another truck.

Hmm. I guess for me since i have experience in automotive wraps im just going to spend 60.00 for the materials and go that route. Main reasoning is costs about the same. Time is 45 min vs 12-24 hours and technically i still have a chrome bumber if i ever sell it and the new owner wants chrome instead. The option is a no turning back option obviously. Looks great though sir. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Great Job! Thanks for sharing

Can you post a video of how you set up all the wires for the lights you installed?

Good video, thanks. Can you show a review of the bumper paint? Thanks

Good work bro

Great build

Very nice job!!!

Awesome video man about to try this with my Chevy. Where did you find the (touch up paint ) / color match paint ?

Epoxy primer after bumper is Stripped, then 2k, Sealer ,base, then Clear... cGood Video man

I am motivated now

Hey bud awesome work I will be doing this very soon!! Where did u buy the touch up express paint! 🤔

Really nice ....how did u tie reverse lights into flood lights in bumper?

looks great

I'm really lighting up your channel with comments I just wanted to ask you did you buy those fender flares they look pretty close to OEM my 2019 Ram Dually didn't come with fender flares I like that OEM look I'm really not trying to use any functionality for them but I like the look I just added 22s on 37s with a super single I haven't received the truck yet but I'm betting it's going to be banging

About to try this for my 2007 Nissan Titan back bumper

Thanks for the tutorial, I get my jeep in a few weeks and I don’t want any chrome

Good job bud Beautiful truck 🥰

Very clean

For lack of a better word.. BADASS Pickup!! How did you hook up the new flush mount reverse lights !? Directly to reverse lights, or harness to reverse relay? Or other ..?

That truck’s gotta fat ass! Love how it coming together!

Badass man.

Nice job man!

Also, any idea if having chrome bumpers sandblasted would provide a better end result? Don't get me wrong, yours looks amazing. I only ask because there is a sandblasting shop a mile down the road. :)

Great Video, was thinking of doing the same job to my truck, how did the paint hold up so far?

Great video. Looks awesome. Why wet sand it and how soon after the paint did you apply the clear coat. Thanks

Dope truck man 👍
