Default Help with bumpers

Well after thinking long and hard, I'm gonna go ahead and keep my truck instead of trading it in. For the 2 years I've had her, she's been good to me, took me where I needed to go, even if it was a rough road.

I got some good plans for her here in the next year or so. But first I wanna start on the outside. The only thing left on my truck that's chrome is my front a rear bumper and the surrounding grill piece.

I just don't know what I wanna do with my bumpers, PTM or black. Any suggestions?

I'm gonna get some Harley style heads and that'll take care of my chrome there.

Steps are either going away or going black

Nice to hear that you're keeping the truck. I prefer PTM especially with bumpers unless it's a two tone truck. Black would look good too if you went that route, but I'd put my vote on PTM.

I would leave it chrome unless you ptm everything. Door handles, mirrors, grill, etc.

PTM always looks good.. And you don't have to do the mirrors, handles, everything else.. You have enough black that they would still match.. Rims, handles, running boards, etc. Black would look good too, as long as its not a dull black.. It's a toss-up for me, I think both would look good..
