Chipped Bumper

[whitethunder]

Another winter another couple dozen rusty rock chips in the painted oem bumper. Has anyone had success getting F**d to switch the front and back bupers to chrome ?? Or is chrome just as bad ? The truck has seen two winters and it'll look hideous

Our 99.5 F250 had the chrome bumper which is almost identical to the one on our 2002 Excursion,the bumper took a good hammerin from going over the Sierra Nevadas on I-80 but it never seemed to get rust spots from the pebble hits.

I dunno about the painted bumpers that are available on some models of Excursions and Superduties on what kind of a beating they take from road junk.

Ford's still rolling the trucks off the line with chrome bumpers so they're available.

If you can't get ford to do anything for you and you like the look of the painted bumper, I may have a suggestion. You could get your bumper powder coated. That should hold up much better than paint. Don't know how expensive that would be though. Should give a nice look also.

I called a local shop about a bedliner of the same color to cover the front bumper. They said it could be done but had no idea of the cost. I have the same problem and they said no to the warrenty of it. I would remove the bumper, strip it of all plastic and hardware and bring it to someone. I would think a good thick paint would be better than the thin paint Ford used. I am waiting until spring and then I will be doing this, a chrome bumper would not look good when there is no chrome anywhere on the truck plus I like the mono look. It is disheartening to say the least. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
