Default Chrome Bumpers

I am gonna start the process of COMPLETELY blacking out my truck. i think the hardest thing is my bumpers, i have bounced from thread to thread. I have heard many options. What is the best option to make them look the same color as my black truck?

rather than black them out i think duplicolor makes something called black chrome...it turns it like a gunmetal color and it looks really sharp! and it still has a nice shine to it

I am in the same boat! I wanna do my truck black also, but I just bought mine and probably won't get to the bumpers for awhile. I see a lot of people plasti-dipping bumpers, but my concern is that it will look flat black against my shiny black truck??

I'm also considering plasti-dipping my chrome wheels but we will see...

good luck

I want the black bumpers to be the same color as the truck. Not sure if my options are a body shop or selling mine and buying a set from ford
