I like 'em on your truck but the chrome has to go, prep it and the rino line / line-x over it (the chrome) or something either that or you could go back to chrome wheels

...is this supposed to be a "BatmoSUV" of some sorts? lol.. anywho, I actually like the blacked out chrome trim..

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, I'd recommend some DupliColor Wheel Paint.. It comes in a flat black, but they also have a gloss clear coat if you want it to shine.. as far as prep goes, just hit it with about a 300 grit sandpaper and clean.. spray on some Duplicolor Self Etching Primer and then you're good to go..

The wheel paint is meant for wheels.. so it's pretty rugged and resists chipping better than most other rattle cans..

Here's a couple closeup pics of my oem step bars painted black..

Maybe this will help. Don't mind me I was bored today.

Smoked Clearance Lights


Chrome to Black


Chrome to my best effort of color matching. This color is extremely difficult to duplicate.
