PTM

I was wondering what kind of prep and finish work needs to be done for the best results when painting the chrome plastics and bumpers on the 6.7s?

high quality adhesion promoter and epoxy primer, and a lot of sanding/scuffing.

Any specific steps?

I would start with PTM pieces whenever possible... IE, start with a king ranch grill... start with XL bumpers, etc.

also allows for less downtime while getting the paint work done

I've found a few xl front bumpers but I can't seem to find rear w/ holes for the park sensors. I figured the plastic pieces would be easy to get the "chrome" off of. Or am I wrong?

I know when I did my bumpers I got them off of a platinum front and a king ranch rear. Then for the grille surrounding I bought it from ford and had them all painted by the body shop.

King ranch rears are fairly easy to find around these parts... good call on the reverse prox sensors. King Ranch, Platinum, or FX4 will do

I can't find any local to me and the ones on eBay have killer shipping rates

Where are you located?

Anybody know where I can find them for a fair price?

I paid $300 total for front and rear bumpers off of a king ranch from a place that sells ranch hands this morning. Then bought a primed grill surround, mirror caps, rear door handle to replace the one with the keyhole and a 2wd valence today for $400 at the dealership. I dropped everything off at the body shop (except for the valence) and I am waiting on the quote for the paint work. If the price for the paint isn't too bad I think I made out fair. Either way its going to look nice when its done.

I also traded a new in the box H&S race tuner that wouldn't work on my '13 for some really nice looking wheels with my boss. His is a '12 so it all worked out.

I got a quote for 150 for just mirror caps, which sounds fair to me, so I would think the grill is gonna cost me 3-400 to get painted, then bumpers will be 400 each for prep and paint probably maybe even 500 each but well worth it. imo.

Does that company have anymore bumpers?

$150 for the caps seems high... these are just the smooth plastic that is ready for paint. This is at the dealership and they painted a door handle for my 2010 for $20 a few years ago so I am hoping they dont get too carried away. I could see the bumpers costing more since they are currently tan but hopefully not too bad.

Everything else he had back there was chrome. You might check with some of your local shops to see what they have or tell them to be on the look out for you. I've seen a handful of them pop up on craigslist.

150 to paint them. found them for 62 dollars for the actual caps in primer ready to be painted, maybe I can sell my chrome ones to someone.
