I've also heard you aren't supposed to paint over chrome? I'm new to this guys and I need a lot of help lol.

I used Plasti-dip for both the bars and the gas cap. Plasti-dip can be painted on chrome without prep, just make sure its clean.

Plasti dip isn't a long term solution but you can redo it and it's cheap...if you sand and prep good you can paint chrome but the best solution is a sandblast and powdercoat

Hell yeah man, welcome to the club...lol looks good. Now you can do the grill inserts and the ram head....and did you see the link from the guy that got the black headlights? That would complete it i think.

Get us another pic like the one you posted when you got your wheels and tires.....
