Help me decide! Painted chrome bumper to match and mirrors?

I cannot decide!

My truck is white and I think if I painted the mirrors and rear bumper it would look good but I keep second guessing it

 

Do it. Chrome sucks big time. You can always plastidip the rear bumper first, then paint it, that way if you don't like it you can still peel it off.

 

Yeah I think I'm gonna like it.

What kinda snorkel is on your truck?

 

Safari

 

Do it, it'll be awesome!

 

Chrome sucks. I went to get a estimate on getting my rear bumper repainted and they wouldn't even give me a estimate. Guess you can't paint chrome??? It's the only thing left on my truck that is chrome and I would like it to be body colored.

I ordered a color matched grill and it matches perfectly but that chrome bumper... I can't stand it.

^white would look so much better


I'm gonna paint my chrome bumper

A lot of people won't do it because they don't know how to prep it

 

Preaching to the choir my friend!

 

color match!

 

I'm gonna tackle mine Tuesday

 

I didn't trust painting over the chrome that my old truck had. I found someone on here with a base grey bumper who wanted chrome. After trading him, I painted his old bumper to match. My way was a PTA. Most people Plasti Dip.

IMO the mirrors are fine as they are. If painted, they would become a maintenance headache with future rock chips.

 

I color matched my grille & mirrors. I am also gonna paint my chrome bumper soon if I can't find a painted one , was also gonna do my emblems but just decided to debadge instead.

 

Do it man, it will look good.

 

I went to my local body shop and they ordered a unpainted OEM Toyota rear bumper then they color matched it perfectly to my super white truck. Out the door, $350. Then you sell your chrome on CL and you are not out much cash at all, if any.

The chrome bumper cost a lot more than the color matched one. The chrome is $560 dealer cost, yes, a few hundred more than the painted.

Oh, I would leave the black mirrors, they look tough. The TRD Off Road with color matched bumper and grill surround is the perfect truck. I did it to mine and I am maybe $100 out of pocket after selling my chrome front grill surround and chrome rear bumper. Now I have a rear locker, A TRAC and the looks.
