have been back and forth for months now about powdercoating the bumpers black. Called a bunch of local powdercoaters today and it's about $100-200 a bumper and a week or two wait. The main thing holding me back is just the down time i would have while my truck sits with no bumpers. Would love to just buy one that is already black and slap it on, just found this one DODGE PICKUP FRONT BUMPER 06 08 BRILLIANT BLACK PEARL PXR PAINTED | eBay

what u guys think, good idea or no? I know it's a bit more expensive, but if i ordered it i could just slap it on and be good, then worry about the rear bumper later

Seems kinda pricey to me since you could get it done foe $200

yeah, now that i think about it, would be about half the cost powdercoating them. I need to just bite the bullet and do it, just dreading ripping both bumpers off and havin the truck dis-assembled in the garage for a while

Yea, but can they match the paint with the powdercoat? Or will it just be black, not PXR?

I'd just get them powder coated if I were you and you can drive the truck with the bumpers off.

OEM colored new bumper? 370.......not bad.

I looked at their prices a few weeks ago on mine. A new bumper from Rock auto, plus paint (at my rate through MY painter) - it was more.

Buy the bumper, sell your stock one on Craigslist. It will match the truck, not a gloss black powdercoat.
