Yeah that is what I was thinking also. What do you think about $300 for the powder coating and sandblasting? I have never had anything powder coated but from what I have read online that price seems pretty reasonable.

I say go black, front and back bumper, and while your at it, toss in a 2-tone black bar on the bottom... Just my thoughts though. check it out in PhotoShop to see if you'd like it. Nice lookin truck so far!

So My wife as good as she is at photoshop said she doesn't know how to make the black 2-tone bar at the bottom and black front bumper. If any of you that read through this are somewhat decent at Photoshop can you please help me out.

I am just curious at what the black would look like mostly along the rocker panel.

I was thinking about going with this N-Fab step bar. It run around $386 but I might be able to find a better deal locally. I want to get the bumpers taken care of first.

The n-Fab steps are really nice. Don't think you can go wrong with them at all

That is interesting cause I have been reading everywhere and so many people have said mixed things as to if you could just paint over the chrome. I need to check some of my local body shops to see if they would just paint them cause I don't have the equipment and I guess if that falls through I could always have them blasted and powder coated.
