Chrome or paint?

Re: Chrome or paint?
New re-pop bumpers are $125 each at any truck parts supplier. Its not worth the time or effort to have them chromed.

Re: Chrome or paint?
White painted bumpers were standard equipment.I saw a cool Big 1 Ton GMC (wide-5) for sale once with painted original bumper guards,pretty cool stock rack truck.

Re: Chrome or paint?
White paint on these trucks sucked.Well,at least as the accent color on a 2-tone and on parts like mirrors,bumpers,and hubcaps.

 WOW that's expensive. The last price quote I saw was for $300 - and that included straightening!
