For those who have gotten their chrome bumpers, grille surround, and/or tow mirrors painted to match how much did it cost and how is it holding up?
Cost will be dependent on who you have do the work obviously, but I can tell you that you will want to put clear bra from 3M or something similar on them after they are painted. My buddy had his done and within a year there were half a dozen rock chips on the bumper and grille. Had he put the clear bra on it would have held up much better.
i got some take off bumpers from a place in texas that sells brush guards and flatbeds. i got some tan KR rear bumpers and an XL black front bumper and just sanded them to bare metal then took them to my paint guy ( a collision shop ) and he final sanded primed and painted them. both bumpers were something like 300$ on there eBay store. i emailed them saying i wanted bumpers with no dents but scratches were ok(since they were going to get striped anyway) so they did just that.
My guess is Hendry's in Channelview, Tx.
If not....call them anyway. They're local to me...you wouldn't believe the amount of bumpers they usually have in stock. Racks with literally hundreds of painted bumpers.
