Never seen a paintable one. I have seen some that have been painted though, lots of sanding to get it smooth.

I'll try and find a used one (probably not possible) since i'll have to sand it anyway to paint it.

From what I was told by people who have done the swap, is that the bumper mounts on the frame horns need to be lowered 1-1/4 inches. You'll need the HD grille and top bumper pad.

Nice to see this asked. Cause I've been looking at swapping over to the Chevy HD bumper so I could get a smooth cap all the way across instead of the break between the cap and chrome.
