    i am getting mine done by a body shop in 2 weeks. i went to several shops and nobody wanted to do it but they referred me to a guy that paints a lot of chrome. he media blasts it lightly to rough up the finnish and then primes and paints. i am going to get him to do both bumpers, my mirror caps, 2 door handles, hood bulge, and the surround of a trd pro grill and swap it out. He said $500 for all of it. I have a sliver sky and couldn't get the grill in that color.

    Opinions on painting the center bumper piece or leaving black? I tend to feel like the painted center is "too matched"?

    I have an 18 MGM 1794 and the center piece is that "mystery" gray that comes on the SR's. I'd be replacing the chrome bumper caps with MGM and getting a new unpainted center. Eventually a Pro grill and hood bulge when the new one gets released.

    Did you end up getting rid of those end caps or do you still have them?

    They charge $100 A cap. He said they raised their price because apparently they are a pain in the ass to wrap. But he gave me a cool guy discount of 300+tax.

    Do your door handles and mirror caps at the same time if you can

    I wish I had had my center painted matte black when I had the corners done.

    I bought a 5' x 3' roll and proceeded to completely waste half of it on a failed attempt to wrap my end caps. But the color matches perfectly.

    It really shouldn't have been that hard, but I think I was rushing it and it was too cold.

    In the end I ordered painted end caps. I should have just done this originally. Buy once, cry once.

    With a blue '14 you still have contrast with the silver center. I'm forced repaint or replace if I want to match the caps because otherwise it'd look like a bad MGM match in the center :(

    I looked at the pics of your new truck and now I know what you mean...is that center piece a color match or just a weird grey? I guess it just all come down to your personal taste. Just to throw a idea by you, maybe you could plastidip it black...if you don't like it you can peel it off.

    It's a weird gray. I asked Roman about it and he said it's the mystery gray that came on certain trims and years that Toyota doesn't even supply a paint code for. Dip is a good idea.

    Temporary :threadjacked: .....sorry,

    But what model tundra (if any) comes with factory chrome rear bumper end caps?

    I am the opposite of this thread and looking to swap out my rear color matched for chrome to match the front bumper.

    My SR5 has factory chrome rear caps. I was going to swap them with plastic but after reading this thread I think I'm going to get them blasted and painted too match.
