Just got my bumpers back from the powder coater. These guys did a damn good job and you cant beat the price.. 250.00 for both bumpers!!! So I cleaned up the truck and snapped some pics.

hey, way to go! that looks total goverrnment-blacked-out-death-mobile.
Black out the tailpipe. Boost knows the paint type I think.


and black out your plate. All it takes is some internet punk with a cop friend to find out where you live and gank your ride.

I am not concerned with someone getting my license plate number. I drive by thousands of people everyday. If you want the truck that bad then come and get it. Zeus (doberman) and my deer rifle will be waiting.

Looks great, did they remove the bumpers or power coat them on the truck ?

They have to bake it on.. i think its around 450 degrees, so you can never really have anything powder coated while its still on the truck. I had to remove everything and take the bumpers to the powder coater.
Well worth the time, energy, and money. Im so glad to be done with the chrome.

Looks good...I'm just trying to find some time to get my bumpers powdercoated too, hopefully next week...The grille on the hoes can't be powdercoated since it's plastic and can't stand the heat, right?

Yup.. gotta paint the grille. If it wont stand up to 450 degrees then it cant be powder coated.

Looks great man! Who did the work? I still need to drop off my SS bumper and roll pan. Are those the taillights you picked up from me?

I had them done at Accent Powder coating in Pflugerville. Nice people and a quick turnaround.
Those are actually my stock tail lights. I picked up yours as an insurance policy if mine turned out bad. I used VHT Nite Shades and im not completely satisfied. I havent cut any corners anywhere on the truck, so I might as well have the lights done right too.
