Plus, what do I need to do to make this bumper paintable? Grind down some through the chrome and etch prime or what? I cant afford rechroming, but will paint it silver. HELP!

MaTTSuN Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 looks interesting but i think if you can wrap it around like the 240 bumpers and keep the Fat look it will look allot better looks a little unfinished as is interesting take tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2TheZ2006 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Un done that is . This is just the first days cutting and welding, still have custom grill lights and signals to fabricate and then will see. Im just looking for input on how to paint that which once was chrome. Any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Interesting, Could you split the bumber length wise revome a section and weld it back up, mud and paint. I like the look between the headlights but thinner less mass would be cooler. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAVED Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 You would need to grind it back to bare metal, then coat it with an etch primer .. then hit it with a primer/filler and sand back smooth for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ 280z Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i think you need to enter a destruction derby with a bumper like that, geez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnosez Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I just moved two of those front bumpers into storage (w/shock struts) and I know how heavy they are. With one of those attached out front of a 240 you won't need an airdam or spoiler to keep the front end planted at high speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecoastz Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 How about a side pic of that? I once thought of making split bumpers out of them your aproach is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2TheZ2006 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 LOL, not done yet gonna suck it back about three inches then paint it black so it blends well into the front grill area. I will give side pick soon as that is done right now it sits forward 3" too far for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
