Guess I'm alone on this one. I don't really like black on red trucks. A red truck with everything PTM and small chrome accents looks amazing.

There is no chrome on my truck at all. I guess it wouldn't look too bad because the emblems are chrome.

With that little chrome, go black. Red looks great with black.

I'll be doing PTM with chrome and touches of black.

Leave it chrome. It seems people are fighting a losing paint chip battle when they paint the Roush grille.

Leave it chrome. Everyone and their mom is going crazy with the black paint, and blacked out theme.

If your fender flares are black then paint it black, if your fender flares match the color of your truck then keep in chrome.

I'm just going to paint it black.
I assume the body shop can make it work....as in not having it chip really bad over time.
