Hey guys how do y'all color match over chrome (grilles and bumpers)??? Do you have to sand or just prime over?

I would never just sand and/or prime over it. You'll regret half a$$ing it. I can tell you that you would have some heavy sanding to entirely remove the chrome off the bumper. I had my bumper stripped, then primed, painted and cleared. You'll end up with a much better product in the end. It cost me $30 to have the chrome completely removed from the bumper.

Matched the bumpers. I've got matched ventshades as well, just haven't put them on. Debating on what to do next. Maybe the mirrors.

:imo: leave the mirrors and the flares. It creates a perfect balance of white and black

Thanks Scott. It's literally a weekly debate with myself going back and forth on what to do. I'm looking for a black toolbox to replace what I've got.

Have you considered black plastic bed rail caps?

Well, what I want to do is put a spray-in bedliner in it. I'm thinking of not only going of the rails, but going down to the body line. That way it will meet the body line on the tailgate. It would be different, and would add protection taking stuff in and out of the bed.
