Default Paint Ideas?

Ok guys well the chrome on my 97 dak bumpers and grill is peeling i cant stand to look at it anymore. I was thinking of stripping them down and where its chrome painting it Flat Black like the newer trucks have. The color of my truck is a dark blue kinda. Anyone one tried this and have any ideas? i was also thinking for the bumpers i would have it powder coated instead of painted on. i was also thinking of doing the wheels flat black as well.
