tan strip delete...?

okay so my truck is pretty much black and chrome.. buuut i have a huge tan strip that i would love all so much to get rid of. I was wondering what all you guys could think of to get rid of the strip short less of a total repaint.
some things i have possible come up with is plasti dip(but unfortunately wont be glossy) or maybe gloss vinyl wrap.. cant really think of any other ways but i would love to get ride of it and make all glossy black.

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated

If you want glossy I think your only option is paint. That doesn't look like factory two tone to me, factory would also go around wheel wells. A good paint shop should be able to blend without doing a whole vehicle repaint. If youl like chrome, you could cover with chrome finish vinyl.

Sprayon bedliner would make a tough finish if you off road much. Still not glossy.

Plasti dip and vinyl would work but neither would really last, that area of the truck is constantly bombarded by crap from the road, plus they won't be a good color match for your current paint. Like Chuck said, any paint shop that is worth anything will be able to paint and blend that no problem and its probably your best bet considering you want it to match the rest of the truck. Good luck!

Not glossy; but have you considered Line-X?

I repainted the bottom of mine from tan to all white. There is a very small lip from the edge but since it's on a body line it doesn't bother me one bit.
