    Has anybody had any experience in replacing or coating their chrome bumper ends to match the black portion of thier grill? I've researched people using Plastidip, powder coat or possibly Line Xing them. I also see black plastic ones online for way too much for plastic. Has anyone switched or coated theirs and how did it look after? Trying to dechrome this thing.

    I did plastidip. As its only 6 bucks a can. If it holds 1 year ill be happy. It matches pretty well i think

    I think it just makes it really hard to peel off which I won’t be doing.
