FuzzFace2 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Little late to the discussion but anything metal that will fit in my oven off Camano I've coated. And anything too big I've had a local shop do. I had the same question and I was told jb weld would work but it all depends on thickness. As Gary said, if it can't conduct it won't stick although gravity will help out if lucky. So you may have to increase the current on the gun to pull through the jb weld. Same goes with multiple primer coats. Since you're talking about a bumper I assume you are having a dedicated shop do it? If so they will likely have some tricks where you don't have to do a thing but point it out to them. Let us know what comes of it. After checking with 3 different places to get the bumpers wrapped in chrome, only 1 would try in a brushed stainless wrap because they thought the chrome would get scratched when applying it. That 3rd shop that would do the brushed stainless gave me another person to call, I was not given an address apt. only and my hours don't work well with that. So I am going to paint them. I was looking for spray can(s) for a bright silver and 1 place only had 1 can but ........ they also had QT's of pre-thinned in that color. It is Dupli-Color Paint Shop BSP202 Brilliant Silver and I will clear coat it with their clear of the same pre-thinned clear, it is a Lacquer paint. With the powder coat there was worry of what I could use to fill grind marks, ect. that the powder would work with then you had the heat of the over and the last was $$ to do both the front & rear bumpers? To have them wrapped at the 1 place was $250 to $300 IIRC don't know what powder coat would of been? I had a small air filter lid done in powder chrome to see how it would turn out and it came out OK but not like chrome. That was OK with me as the lid was not chrome from the factory but nickel plated and it came out close to that. It also had some rust pitting and that did show up and why I know the bumpers needed to be smooth. Think the Dupli-Color was $50 for the a QT of paint & clear. I have a lot of heavy coats of primer to fill the grind marks and been outside backing in the sun now for a few weeks. I will not paint them till after the truck is painted this way when done I can install them to keep them from getting marked up. When I get them done I will post pictures in here so other can see if that is how they want to go, paint, powder coat or wrap if they can find someone that will do it.

Bruce moose4x4 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Now, I haven't tried this, But I am toying with powder coating the whole body on the truck? Already have the frame, bumpers, and roll bar powder coated. Haven't decided yet. It will be a while before I get back to this truck. Do you use Crump or Springfield? Another powder coating guy I know was talking about doing a kids fenders and the other body panels down the road. He said they looked really slick. I didn't go into any details on it with him so maybe I am missing something but personally I would leave the body panels in paint. What would you do if you get a chip or scratch in the coating? Getting all the seam sealer out of the cab nooks and crannies and the coating inside the door panels may be a trick not to mention having to make sure you reapply it everywhere after. If you do go with it, I'd love to hear how it goes and drive by to check it out. I have used both. Springfield did all my stuff on my sons Mustang. Crumps did my 16 foot trailer. I had a lot of stuff done on the truck in Joplin. Headers frame bumpers. It will be a while before I get back to the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been taking my large stuff to Crumps and have been very happy. Just as much with the staff as with the coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have been dealing with crumps since the early 90’s as a mechanic. Darren and them are good people. What do you do for work?
