anyone spray painted chrome running boards to black?
Just like the title says... I am not particularly fond of chrome. Bought my truck used, previous owner had a hard on for chrome. Trying to unbling as much as possible with little coin spent as possible. Has anyone scuffed theirs up and turned it black?

I just did mine. Not sure on the durability compared to line-x, but I went the cheap Rustoleum route. Scraped up the chrome with my orbital sander and some 90 grit. Used one coat of self etching primer, one coat of black primer, and then two coats of the bed liner.
Only time will tell how durable this is going to be, but I know touchup is going to be easier compared to powder coating or line-x.
Here's the pics:

Installed, trucks dirty, won't stop raining here....

Hey Fritz, that looks great! Did you pop off the plastic steps off or was it screwed in or did u just paint around it?

I did not take the plastic off. I started too, but did not want to mess them up too much. I just ended up masking off all the plastic and applied paint.
Couple more pics
After I hit it with my orbital;
One Primered other bare, you can see my masking job
Not sure if you mean fit back on the truck or talking about the plastic. Didn't take the plastic off, so don't know how it would fit, went back on the truck no problem.
