ya know... come to think of it i know i have seen your truck around town before... before i sold my "flower power" 20's, i was going to paint them black. and i remember seeing your truck round town thinking "thats the only ram in town with those wheels in black". the bumpers look great. i want to do the same thing to my front, but color match. i was thinking about molding the top plastic part and the steel part together before paint to make it look like a one piece. how did you prep the chrome? did you sand the hell out of it, or did you just spray over it?

i used plastidip so it can peel off if need be. so right now it's just a test. but i cleaned it up real good.knock on wood. the rear bumper is doing hella great, i'll find out today about bugs and shit.
