A few truck upgrades today
Here is a little bit of transformation since I got her about 1.5 yrs ago. I did a 3inch lift, magnaflow exhaust and got a little creative with factory wheels.
Let me know what you think
Before
After
Bumpers and wheels were sanded and painted with mercedes black and five coats of clear added to wheels

thank you for the compliments. The bumpers were factory chrome. I had them sanded down with 80 grit then cleaned. Finally primed, then painted with heavy duty black paint specific for bumpers. The wheels were painted professionally. I wet sanded them down then had them primed and painted at my friend's body shop. The front emblems were also painted flat black at the shop. I am tempted to do the rears with plasti dip because I think they would come out the same. But up close, I still like the flat black look

I'm wanting to Rhino Line my bumpers, I wonder if it would work with the same process you did with the chrome bumpers. Looks great.
