JLonsinger, it looks like they have a sterling silver in gloss and a silver in matte; kind of hard to tell of the probability of a color match.
I think they may have samples available though.

TKO, I am intrigued. I have many questions. Here are but a few:
1) Have you used this stuff before?
2) If so, how is it for longevity? They say it lasts up to seven years, but real world?
3) How hard was it to apply? Did the bubbles come out easily? Any creases around the edges, etc?
4) How much did you buy to do just the front? It says 60" wide, but doesn't give the length of the sheet.
5) Are you in fact MetroRestyling.com's VP of marketing?
I've never heard of this stuff but it looks cool. I just plasti dipped my bumpers and it turned out well but my OCD keeps telling me I can find something better that will finally make me accept my bumpers with unconditional love.

White Harley. They look killer on any f150 except really the fx4. They tie the whole front end together so nicely. It would also look nice if you painted the slats black or silver to match the rims.

I have seen people roll with the same vinyl for 4 or 5 years and it still looks great.
it gets tricky to apply, and it does crease at times. You just have to be patient and stretch out the imperfections before continuing. my bumpers look almost 100% perfect except for a crease on one of the corners, about the size of a grain of rice.
I bought the 60X36, which could be cut into 4 pieces to wrap the front bumpers the way i did, and the rear.. cost 38$ I used the other pieces elswhere, so i need to buy more. if you want a full one piece front bumper wrap, measure your bumper and buy a piece that will allow you to do so.
I have no affiliation with Metro,..Its just my favorite place to buy vinyl wrap supplies from. and yeah this stuff is better than plastidip, and more durable than paint.. i think for the cost, its a no brainer

Great info, I appreciate all the tips. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this stuff as a viable alternative to the 101 things people do to change the appearance of their bumpers.
I've got a PTM grille on the way, along with PTM mirror caps. Once they're done, I'll choose either the matte or gloss black to do my bumpers.
It looks good with what you've done. Post up more when you're done?
