Welp, i decided to de-chrome the truck today....

Front and rear bumpers, nerf bars, and the side mirrors all got a nice coat of satin black...

I'm with butch on the demold, I would also use a headlight restoration kit on your parking lights. Other than that I love it. I really am partial to the older style chevy grills though

Looks good man, I need to paint my front bumper black, and change my "painted-to-match" rear bumper back to black.

No plans on de-molding..i wheel this thing, so i want to keep the protection of the molding in place..it saved my passenger side cab corner from a stump rub going through a sharp turn in the woods a while back...if it wasn't there, i would have a pretty nasty scrape where the molding was...so it's staying on..

The turn signals are a lost cause...I'm going to replace them with new aftermarket lenses...and I'm thinking about projectors also..

damn you for not having the burgundy and silver two tone. I have been contemplating this same type of project Im not sure how it would look. Yours looks good and I think leave the moulding. It ties the black together a bit.

ya, i'm not sure if a black trimmed two tone truck would look good...i was pretty safe with mine being white, black/white seem to always go good together on a vehicle imo...agreed on the trim tying the black together with the body of the truck, that was a unseen perk..

what kind of paint do you use? do you do any prep work to the chrome?
