I can't help with the off the shelf link, but a vehicle wrap shop can print anything you want, camo, naked girls, any color, any design, logos, you get the idea. You don't have to wrap the whole vehicle, they can cut the strips just to do what you want.

I would think it's probably about $200-$400 to do that area, but much cheaper than paint, and endless unique possibilities.

A good paint guy will paint that to match for about 500 - 700 if you prep everything IE: degrease, sand, remove (if necessary) like on the fender flares. If you don't prep it then it will cost about $1000 to $1500. Take this opportunity to get anything else shot with paint, like wiper cowl, door handles, pillars, bumpers, mirrors, grill....plan it well, Do it once, do it right, and you will never have to do it again..... Also check some of his work and make sure there is no Orange Peel look, this means he rushes and doesn't give a crap about the clear coat finish.... If he talks you into the one stage urethane paint then it should be cheaper then paint and ppg clear.

like others, i would get a new front bumper, roll pan or new rear bumper, grill, paint the handles, mirror caps, etc because you'll have enough paint to do it all so the whole truck matches one color

Alright thanks everyone. The idea of the wraps kind of interest me? Has anyone ever tried a wrap (camp, color matching, etc?) and if so how was the quality? Also, I research and saw a few ideas about getting black or color matching line-x/rhino lining, any info on that? Thanks.

I've seen the wrap done, on trucks vans and boats, the ones I saw were very good quality.

A friend of mine did his own, hood, roof and trunk with a Carbon Fiber pattern (extremely difficult because of the small uniform pattern, any stretch shows up easily) and it came out pretty good. He did the woodgrain in my interior with it and it came out awesome.

I would think on that small straight area, done by a pro, it would be flawless. If you have the patience and steady hand, you could do a good job yourself.
