    the first couple trucks that come to mind are that cool Army Green, and that beautiful metallic brown Tundra.... What the heck was Toyota thinking putting chrome with those paint colors ?

    Anyway, in case you were not familiar with this product, their is this stuff called Bulldawg. You can get it in bulk cans to run through a sprayer, or, you can get it in a spray can. A little pricey... But this stuff is amazing ! Its basically an adhesion promoting primer, but it will stick solidly to just about anything, including glass, plastic, or chrome :)
    I used it on the chrome bumper of my F150, and it lasted about 8 yrs.... before I kind of bumped something, and had to get a new bumper. Not even that chipped it though :) The new bumper was painted. But I've use Bulldawg spray on other parts since then. Chrome would absolutely not work with the styling of my F150....

    Ha :) lol My Ford has been a really good girl. Never stuck me anywhere.... but at 13 years old, even as clean as it is, it's starting to look pretty dated. I do like the way I've styled it, and the stereo system has been a 13 year project, which I pretty much have dialed in..... Plus, it only has 78K miles on it. Only used it a lot back when I had a boat to pull.

    It's not from the Bulldawg... Had a tough time putting on the most recent coat of Bedliner. Slightly breezy... But hey, it hasn't chipped.

    Ha :) lol Agreed.... Especially with my paint color and the camo. Any chrome at all just doesn't work.
