I dont really like my front bumper. i dont think it goes with the rest of the truck-too much chrome
is it possible to paint it black? has this been done before? think itll look good?

 

pretty sure fx4wannabe has done it

 

There's a kit out that where you can paint chrome to make it look like black chrome. I think that'd look pretty cool... I think Duplicolor makes it.

 

really? that sounds really cool. who would you guess would carry something like that?

 

Last time I was across the border I saw it at Meijers and I think Autozone had it.

 

Here it is:

Dupli-Color - Shadow

 

awesome....thank you! im gunna see if i can find it.

 

i think if i did it, i would do the front and back bumper and maybe even the grille instead of just the front bumper so its not random? what do you guys think?

 

I think that'd look pretty good.

 

yea i agree. i think ill give it a try. thanks for the idea!

 

 

use that rustoleum bedliner

 

wow that looks really good. im wondering how dark i should go with it. or how many coats

i thought of doing the bedliner stuff but i really want it to look somewhat stock in other words blend with the rest of the vehicle.

 

No problem! I'm curious to see how it turns out... I've always wanted to do my emblems with it.

 

the bedliner looks like the stock textured flares just in black

 

I used the bedliner stuff works awesome. Doesn't chip at all.

 

oo thats also a good idea. i think im going to do the front bumper and the rear. how should i prep it? just give a good cleaning?

that might look good too if i did my fenders along with it.

 

do you have any pictures?

 

There should be some instructions in that kit that will tell you the best way... but definitely a good cleaning to start!

the front bumper used to be chrome? looks good.

 

Yeah I used 2 cans to do the front. It was like $7.50 a can. I also did the rocker pannels, rear bumper and tool box.
