I see some of the trucks on here with painted front bumpers and would also like mine painted so i went to a paint & body shop here and they said they wouldn't recommend painting my bumper because it could crack. Is there a stock front bumper that is better for painting or is there a way to make mine able to hold up from cracking? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to bodywork.
 






Many have painted their bumpers and sides.The main thing is preperation.Clean and lightly sand the plastic.Then use a good adhesion promoter. A good paint and clear coat.The ones I have seen have been on for several years and looked great._Ron
