Has anyone seen a brushed steel bumper?
I was watching this show called Overhaulin and they were fixing up this classic mustang and they put on there a set of bumpers that were brushed steel. Has anyone seen this for our trucks? Where would we go for one? If none are available, I say it's time for one. Because I want them.

Re: Has anyone seen a brushed steel bumper?
Saw this car at SEMA and am not sure if this is a imitation done with paint or the real deal.......but probably the look you are after.
You could buy a non-chrome bumper, strip it to bare steel and use a scotchbrite pad and create a brushed look and then clear over it. You might have to do a little research to find out which clear would best adhere to bare steel since most aren't designed for that use. It is a cool look.

Re: Has anyone seen a brushed steel bumper?
Use clear powder to coat the polished bare bumper, i.e., powder-coat. You could have both sides done and it would be (theoretically) sealed from the elements.

Re: Has anyone seen a brushed steel bumper?
To get that brushed look your strokes will need to be continuous from end to end or it won`t look right.Bare that in mind.

Re: Has anyone seen a brushed steel bumper?
There are products out there that you can use. House of kolor has a chrome paint that looks like brushed steel. And if i remember you can use a soft cloth on that paint after it dries and simulate sand marks.

Re: Has anyone seen a brushed steel bumper?
I think on the mustang they did a faux aluminum look on the paint. where they brushed the paint. I cant remember how, but I will look into it when I can find a video of that show.
