Anyone know of the color for the black that comes on 2015 sport front bumpers. Have a 2017 but want my center wrapped vs painting

I figured as much. I think i'm gonna get a quote from someone local, thanks for the responses. Truck looks good

Yeah, fixing the paint on a chrome bumper is super easy. *rolleyes*

Pics to see the final product? Looking to do this in the near future.
Not sure what that would cost, but on my old Ram 2500, I had color matched linex done... Cost me $500 and I removed the bumpers and took them to them.....

Only an idiot (*rolleyes*) would not properly prep Chrome anything before painting. I did mine the right way.

Yes, again, looks so much simpler than re-wrapping a basically flat surface.

This is the vinyl wrap job I have on my truck and it's been on for about 3 1/2 years or so. The white has got some staining but isn't noticeable by most people. (Ford got a grease stain on the hood when the shut the hood, when I had the oil changed). But overall the vinyl is in great shape. Granted it's garage kept and I wash it at least every other week.

Never said it was simple, quality is usually costly and harder but more rewarding...I don't have anything against wrapping, it's just not for me. If all yer doing is just the bumpers, then a wrap should be considered along with Plasti-Dip. I had several things done, felt painting was the way to go.

Yer Turn!

I like the way it looks.
