I know a vinyl color that matches if you wanted to try and wrap the bumpers.

If anyone in the Toronto area has a use for it, pm me and you can have it for free.

Here's a couple pics, not the best lighting but you get the idea.
Bummer. Well, it looks like I'm back to trying to find a powder coat that matches. I'm gonna hit up a pretty big shop here in the LA area and see.

Same here. I'd like to add some to my emblems and try it out on the grill.

I used Plasti dip smoke on my bumpers and grill surround last weekend and in comparison that vinyl is looking like a pretty damn good match! I think I was being too picky. There's a piece of it on the step pad.

When I get sick of the PD the vinyl is going on after all! Today I bought a $69 heat gun on sale for $25 from Canadian tire and just ordered a felt edge vinyl squeegee online.

Here's a front pic

It didn't come out the greatest but it's still satisfying to see my truck mostly de-chromed!
