Damn chrome always comes off anyhow...

Sand 'em, hit 'em with acid-etch primer, and then paint away

 

they arent really chrome they are like some gel/plastic painted that color, they are a pain in the *** for cleaning the truck when dirt and grap gets in them, im prolly gonna remove mine at some poitn

 

u guys talking about the trim or badges?
i thought that chrome trim on the rocker would look sick in powder coat black.
i could just paint the stripe on the bottom of the truck but that'd be permanent.

 

i was reffering to the chrome dakota lettering on the door

 

I was generally referring to anything that is stick on and chrome looking. Letter, trim, it doesn't matter. That crap is going to peel and flake and not be nice and shiny for very long.

This is one of my pet peeves about my truck. Everything that is chrome on it, whether it is the letters on the door or the badges on the fender or the bumper or the grill is slowly becoming not chrome, resulting in my needing to continually clean and rub and buff and then still not being completely happy with the results...

Nice thing is that the chrome effect is really easy to eliminate. So, if all you can find is chrome, just buy it and de-chrome it. Few bucks in supplies and you have a custom paint shop capable of color mathcing any trim piece to your truck

 

The crappy chrome badging is the reason I removed it. The chrome was pealing off the letters, and looked horrible. Now the wife's caravan is doing the same thing.
