So I walked out to my truck one day and said to my self, self I don't like chrome what I'm I going to do.

Here is what I did.

My truck before.

Let's start with the fuel door.

I first sand blasted the chrome off it then used a self etching primer and found my paint code and bought like 10 cans off it and clearcoat.


Then I sanded the chrome of my old bumper and got the rust off the back then coated the back with a anti rust paint and painted the front of it and put my trucks name on it just for fun.






OK now for the front bumper. Sorry not Alot of pics.

OK now to take apart the truck, to get ready to put them on.




OK after two days of hard work in 106 degrees. I finally finished it.
I also painted the exhaust tips black with header paint.
Here she is.






So what do you think

 

Looks good except for the Call of Duty poster...

 

Looks great man nice job love PTM trucks good move

 

Looks great, but I'd lose the grill guard.

 

Looks MUCH better! I don't like chrome either and have been debating about doing the same thing to my new to me '05.
My '04 (God rest its soul) was Aspen Green/Arizona Beige two tone. No chrome on that one and I really miss that look.

Again good Job! You have inspired me to go ahead and do it.

 

Much better! Nice truck.

 

Makes a big difference! Looks very nice

 

Looking good man! Now you need one of my PTM emblems to fit into the mix

 

Thanks man... I want to PTM my emblems to and I will do So in the future.

 

Sounds good. They should look great on your truck an tie it all together.

 

Looks really good, been working towards this myself slowly

 

Nice clean work, looks outstanding!

 

You should have done the lower valance also...

 

I though about that but with the black running boards and trim, I think it ties it all together.

 

Looks reallyyyy good! Much better
