kuhar69 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Guys my front Chrome bumper is anything but chrome at this point. I would like to maybe use a Plasma cutter to cut a couple of holes for LED lights and then paint the bumper Mack red like my cab. A guy told me to check on this he said even thoe the chrome is faded away he said he is not sure that paint will stick to the steel.Anybody know anything about this??.Mark Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14915-front-chrome-bumpers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhar69 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ok I will check that out on google. I have been hearing different things. The chrome is worn away real bad which is weird for a 2003 but I dont think this bumper was the origanal the guy before me could have thrown on a spare.It just looks like shit the radiator chrome guard is real nice thats why i wanna clean up the bumper with paint rather than spend 600 on a new bumper.Mark Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14915-front-chrome-bumpers/#findComment-60026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
