Ueland has one like that, but it started chipping so now he is looking at doing something different like that.

I would just spray my chrome one red, but IMO, there is nothing you can do with a rattle can to make it look factory. Im picky when it comes to color and the finish. I may get my black one sprayed red since the factory black has metallic in it, but Ill see how it looks first.

I kinda wanna paint my black plastic bumper with some bedliner, along with the plastic part of my rear bumper. Should I just sand it down and spray the bedliner directly on it or use some kind of primer?? Oh, and I'm gonna keep the chrome piece as it is too.

While were on the paint subject does anyone have any tips on painting an ST unpainted front bumper?
I did mine, as long as you sand the whole thing. wipe it down with mineral spirits and paint it with atleast 2 coats of krylon for plastics it will turn out great. mine has been in the alabama sun for a year and a half and still looks great. the back bumper is just a scuff and shoot kinda thing. i primed mine but you may be able to just sand. i would reccommend doing it off the truck, soo much easier.
