Great video, I would like to go with a brushed metal look. would clear coat over the sanded chrome work. Hey where do you get Elbow Grease, Amazon? LOL Keep it up
larry jones I got the elbow grease when it was in sale, lol. In order for the clear coat to work, some adhesion promoter primer first, would definitely help a lot.
@@icsivan Once you activate the clear coat you have to use it up, how long is it good for? I found some Adhesion promoter online, Advantage Refinish Products 3530, it got good reviews. thanks Ivan
Chrome does not etch well. For primer on chrome, better to use Paint Bond, Paint Adhesive, etc. It's a bonding agent (adhesive, glue) that sticks to chrome and provides a superior paintable surface for paint to stick to. Rustoleum and Duplicolor each have a version. No doubt there are others.
Chrome is one of the hardest metals. You did a good job sanding "teeth" into the chrome but when you hit it with etching primer, it will have a negative effect because chrome will hardly etch at all and the paint part of the etching primer will actually smooth out the teeth that you sanded into the chrome. Front bumpers are particularly bad because of all the bugs and road debris that gets thrown at them.
Don't be insulted, I learned all this the hard way by doing exactly what you did and then had it flake of in small chunks every where a bug or rock would hit it.
X-Man From what I researched , self etching primer grips to the sanded chrome very well and prepares you for regular primer, which I stupidly forgot to apply. I’m in no means a pro, ad wanted something to last while I save up to have the entire truck painted at a shop. So far it’s held up after 7 months. I appreciate the criticism though I enjoy learning.
@@icsivan Glad to hear you had better results than I did. I was just trying to share what I learned the hard way. I'm not a Pro either.
But the fact is, any acid strong enough to etch chrome would have to be neutralized before painting. Even Aircraft Paint Remover, that will burn your skin in seconds, will not etch chrome.
I suspect you did a very good job sanding teeth into the chrome, I used 120 grit. BTW-the etching primer I have says you don't need another primer coat on top of it before top coating.
Also, I did like the paper skirt you put around your pop-up canopy. Nice trick. I like to learn something new everyday also. Thanks.
X-Man Thanks man. Well I’m helping my buddy do his chrome bumper next weekend and I will be applying your suggestions to it. We went out and got some duplicolor bonding primer. The paper helped so much against stuff getting in the paint.
ICS Ivan so what primer should I actually use since you’ve used both?
X-Man will the adhesion promoter work better than the primer? I thought you only used that on plastics? I’m so confused now on what primer to use on chrome
Looks awesome you should get the Lightning valance to go with it and maybe black out the door handles and trim on around the windshield and antenna basically all chrome trim black and make a video on it?
christian sanchez Damn, that’s a great idea. Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

Would you suggest adhesion promoter on top of the base coat, before the laquer finish? That looks GREAT by the way!!
Getting Fit at 50 I would do the adhesion promoter before anything. Then regular primer, base and clear.
How long did it last?
Still going, just a few chips from rocks getting it on highway but other than that still holding.
After a year now how’s the paint holding up?
Josh Houck Great! The 2k clear coat is amazing! It has some rock chips, but that’s expected.
After the base coat how long did you wait to apply the clear?
Great video by the way. I plan on doing my 05 silverado bumpers
YaGoonie ! I waited 48 hrs. I wanted the base coat to cure before applying the clear coat. I know, it’s hard, you want to get it done all in one day, but if you wait it’ll be worth it.
@@icsivan awesome! Thank you
Straight bumping Chalino and El Monarca de Sinaloa 💯 si sabe de musica compa
Ya sabe.
Great video man.... how many cans did it take to get it to look like that. Came out awsome bro can't wait to see how it looks in the truck. Saludos desde Zapopan Jalisco México
Primer was 2 cans, Base paint took me 3 cans and the clear coat was also 2. Thanks for the support.
I’ll post an update video soon, it’s been about 4 months since I painted it, and it’s held very nice. Paint still looks great.
@@icsivan how much did you spend
Jorge Rojas For paint and supplies. About $90.00 dollars
Hey man I was wondering where did you get all your cans?
Local paint supply store, but Amazon has everything. P
@@icsivan Awesome thanks man I’m going to do this to my f150 94 4.9 in-line 6 with the 5 speed manual like yours wish me luck haha
If you use real paint and clear you will come out cheaper and better results. Not knocking your work it does look good I've done it. But over time it will get hard and real hard to clean. I subscribed to your channel so don't grill me over my opinion. Thanks 😊 👍 👍
Yeah, I just wanted to paint the the truck so I can match everything to white for the meanwhile. I’m repainting the whole truck soon, and professionally. And I like suggestions, thanks for subscribing. Anything you would like to see done to the truck?
@@icsivan I have 92 extended cab I'm painting soon I'll upload a video. Soon hopefully, your truck is nice.
tu papa Thanks man, I’m lowering mine next month. I’m getting the 3/5 lowering kit from DJM. They’re nice truck.
Sweet vid. Bout to paint my hood and grill. Got a 06 silverado single cab and doing a HD front end. Thanks for the tips my guy. Nice truck.
You a bible kind of guy? I thought I heard you say sackcloth @ 3:34??
Lol, I have to get a better camera. I said tack cloth.
Hey man can I wet sand by hand if I don’t have a machine?
Yes, it is more work but simple answer is yes.
How many cans of color match did you use?
2 1/2 total.
Looks good af!!!!! 🔥👍🏾
Where did you purchase the 2X Spray Max can?
Eduardo Cabrera I bought it at a auto body supply store. There’s about 5 around my area and they all stock them. If not Amazon also had them in stock and they run about $20 dollars each.
How many cans of each paint did you use?
I used about 4 of the white color match and one of the 2k clear.
@@icsivan sweet! Thanks. I'm gonna do the same thing with mine except gloss black or a matte black.
Sweet vid man
Keifer M thank you. I’m restoring the truck. So, more videos coming soon.
A year later did the paint have any issues? I really wanna do this to my front/back bumpers.
Just some rock chips but that’s normal since I go out to the desert. But if I do it again I would use adhesion promoter primer. It will make the paint stick better thus lasting longer.
When Would you use the adhesion promoter on the steel on a primer
Or on the primer
jesus king On the bare metal.
Some say 80 grit is too harsh what you got to say about that ??
Rocky323hp Not for this application, if you go with a finer sandpaper it won’t get the chrome corse enough to let paint adhere to it. I also recommend using adhesion promoter primer. Paint will adhere much better.
ICS Ivan thanx
How many cans of paint did you use?
Jaymezz Watson 3 1/2 of the base, 1 1/2 primer and and one of the clear.
ICS Ivan thanks ❗️
How’s the paint since the video was made?
BeadHand _96 Stil holding good thanks to the 2k clear coat. It has some rock chips but, unavoidable. The only thing I would have done different is also used adhesion promoter primer.
ICS Ivan do you do the adhesion premotor before or after the primer
J.R. W The adhesion promoter is a primer, do you technically don’t need another primer. If you must, use the adhesion promoter first.
Do you have to add clear coat?
AlexRodriguez The simplest answer is no but, clear cost will help preserve the color and help protect against sun damage, Chipping, rust and other things.
Looks great!
Surprise K Thanks. 😁
