I went with David350's paint scheme
Figured if I didn't like em I'd just paint the entire rim black

i did my bumpers a few weeks ago

i took em off and took all the plastic off and internal support metal out, cleaned the chrome with mineral spirits, scuffed it up with 220 sandpaper, 2 coats of self etching primer, 2 coats of rustoleum bedliner, i also primered the inside to keep it from rusting through




and got black rims for a better offset

i dont think there replacable. theres some on the top that kinda sandwich into a slit, those were all gone except like 3, and then theres some on the back that have studs that press in and only one of them were missin. i didnt fix em, it has just enough to hold it on
