Default Ideas for rocker panel trim

Right now my truck has camo trim. And I'm just getting bored with it. I'm thinking either bedliner or finding a chrome trim. Does anyone have expirence with either? And if anyone can photoshop would be great!

Personally, I'd either paint it like factory strip is on the two tones , like your flares or keep it all that color green. That's a real nice color green, in fact, it has me wanting to paint mine that color now...thanks a lot!

Is the trim a decal? If so, just pull it off.
Chrome looks horrible IMO.
Black bedliner would look bad too with the tan flares.

What would be the best paint to use to paint the flares and rockers? Under the camo is the tan but it has scratches and rips in it.

With a truck like that, I'd have a body shop fix the existing or change color if you wanted. I mean the rest of truck looks immaculate, I'd get prices anyway.

You can get factory paint in aerosol, - spray caned for yuh at a auto paint supplier, at least sherwin williams has been offering that for awhile now, but still, Id check around with some shops for prices.

It's okay I guess , 100 times better than bed liner or chrome band-aids IMO.
