    I've heard mixed reviews about the paint, but they all say the fitment is great.

    FYI, an alternative to replacing the chrome bumper ends with plastic painted.
    These are covers that go over the chrome.
    There are bolted on with existing bolts and strong double sided tape.

    Thread link
    Chrome Delete Covers for Tundra Bumpers - BumperShellz | Toyota Tundra Forum

    Store link
    Chrome Stoppers - Car and Truck Chrome Delete Kit and Blackout Central – ChromeStoppers

    I have the front and rear bumper covers in TPO black.
    I was skeptical but I'm very happy with them.

    9bf5de74-a577-4660-950d-ca78f1918aad_cbe641ce253b2fc775bf0ecd382f85f0d7842eba.jpg 08b4bd3c-8dbc-4f58-b958-d5e1d6d289a7_c25908444e848c6490c8e601271bfe253fc5936e.jpg


    Front and rear painted would cost you around $570 plus shipping and a lot less labor.

    2014-2021 Tundra BumperShellz: DIY Chrome Delete Front Bumper Overlays – ChromeStoppers
    2014-2021 Tundra Rear Bumper Overlays - BumperShellz – ChromeStoppers

    They also have grille and hood overlays, although I have no experience with them, these would run you around $400 plus shipping.
    There is an install video in the link, they look good.

    They are a forum vendor, you can contact @EC1 for questions and info.

    Replacing the rear chrome ends with OEM painted ends takes several parts described in the first post of this thread..
    Unfortunately Roman doesn't sell parts anymore.

    I can second paintedoemparts.com

    When I was on my chrome delete journey I stumbled across them, and purchased everything directly off of their site. I can say that the paint quality on my mirror caps and grille are far superior to the rest of the paint that came on the truck (which I have found to be some of the most delicate paint ever). They're also in Loveland so should be local-ish to you anyway. You'll have a door to knock on if something isn't right!

    Also, I did talk with them once upon a time about getting a forum discount code, and they furnished me with a 5% off discount code that I can provide to everyone. The promo code is HOTSHOT . They gave it to me months back, and I haven't shared it yet lol. Just tried it though to make sure it still works.

    Thank you for recommending us! While we may be biased, chrome deleting your truck with our Bumpershellz would definitely be the best option. Our shellz are designed to withstand debris, offroading, car washes, etc. while giving your truck sleek, bad$%$ look and deleting that chrome!

    Another great factor of our shellz is that you can always take them off without causing damage to your bumpers. Oftentimes, going with paint options for chrome-delete can be very time consuming and potentially leave scuffs and residue on your bumper.

    And to the OP, this is what I did for my bumper caps. Just waiting on paint and shipping. So, I ended up with a mix.
