Painted Front Bumpers
I have seen a lot of trucks with the metal part of the front bumper color matched. Anyone know if you can order these from the factory? I really don't want to buy a work truck front bumper and get it painted to match my truck. Any ideas?

there is a paint grade metal panel to order and paint , i have the part # somewhere if you want it
don't think you can get a factory painted piece.
I had one painted and installed by a body shop on my 08 and the guy that did it said the installation was a big pita.

If you take it to the right painter, they can prep it really good and paint it and not have any problems. but powdercoating is a good way to get it done too.
then have it powdercoated

JB- I'm looking at getting the paintable front air deflector like you have, and the part number says "air deflector w/lettering". Any clue what this lettering is?
