so i am going to paint my flares black, but i was curious what wold u guys think if i painted the bumpers, and chrome upper peice abouve my grill black.... just a thought..

 

bump...

heres a pic if it will help

 

i was thinking about doing the same thing but not sure how its gonna come out

 

and i dont kno wat paint i should do it with.. flat black, or gloss....

 

if i do it im gonna do gloss only because i think flat black will look like a cheap factory bumper, like the ones that come on bottom like delivery trucks

 

oh ya... i forgot about tht... ok well just curious could someone photoshop my bumper, chrome piece above grill and fender flares black....

 

glossy black would look awesome! Kevin hit it on the nail, too...sometimes a little flat black is alright, but the bumpers would be way too much. Are you thinking of doing it yourself or taking it to someone?

 

hey
i did it to my truck
but i used bedliner black
spray can from fred meyer
duraliner
you have to layer it to make it come out good

it works good because bedliner is a self primer

IT LOOKS AWSOME!!!

here are the pics
first pics are unpainted NOT LIFTED
other pics are after the lift with new tires
but with the bedliner

old pic


new pic

 

I liked the before better but it may because of the black wheels, maybe too much...my 2 cents

I like the black I think it looks a lot better than the gray flares with everything else being black

 

I got bored so I did a couple different things to your truck.

Here is what you asked for.




Here are the ones that I messed around with.

 

thanks... tht actually helps out alot... and i think i will leave the trim abouve the grill chrome... it sets it off way to much...

 

Pls dont do the grill trim and the whole bumper. Just the flares, bumper trim, lower valences, and mayb the mirrors with the same color black so all trim is the same color.
I painted all of that on mine with krylon fusion semigloss black




oh an here is a before(long time before!)

 

im gonna do mine myself, hopefully this weekend if the weather is good

 

I went from chrome to black and the only thing that I have left is the grill and trim pieces around it! Maybe do that this summer...

 

ya i am gonna paint the whole bumper/flares/ mirrors.... hey eric.. what paint did u use... i think since i an going to have a mixture of metal and plastic i will just go with the krylon fusion....

 

i seen your pics of your truck last week, thats what made me decide to paint my bumper black, my truck is all black so i hope it looks as good, what paint did you use?

 

I didn't paint it myself but I didn't exactly take it to a professional shop either, my buddy does body work outta his house and he did it in his garage cuz hes got all the right tools, its just a regular base coat clear coat on the body and bumpers, however- the plastic trim on the rear bumper cover and fog light valence was a completely different process cuz of the plastic, not sure what he used but it hasn't chipped or faded yet! Been almost a year I think...

 

thts cool... i painted the front end of my s dime with krylon fusion and it looked like a pro did it ... it is all in how you layer it and give it time to dry..
