One thing I've been thinking about doing is the piece that holds the license plate on the rear, between the bumper and the bed. Mine is a greyish color and I thought painting it black would look good and match my bumper covers and tailgate cover.

Paint your door handles white. Maybe the base of your antennaas well.

Brakes look like this:

Negitive there boss. The trac bar needs a fork to be removed and once its off its gonna be messed up. Also if you take it off its one of the parts that should be replaced cause they are junk

You can paint almost anything you put your mind to. Look at my sig pic. If you want the details on painting plastic, look in the DIY for Color matching your grill.
