    the front and rear bumper ends were both wrapped when I bought my truck but are scratched a little and starting to peel on some edges. I’m looking to either buy painted ones or paint mine, I’m just hesitant to paint chrome as they seem more susceptible to chipping. Is there a good source to buying ready painted ones?

    Do it yourself. Time+$16 is worth it. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean the chrome. Turned out good with one coat plasti dip and flat black paint on top.

    Hmm plasti dip and paint. Interesting idea. I’d like to know how they hold up down the road.

    We shall see. Couple long trips “1k miles” so far and holding up good. The off road with rocks and brush will be the real test.
