Talking Painted step bars

Bought these Westins from a friend. They were chrome, but not any more....
Sanded, primed, and painted with a rubber coating for durability.

Step bars look really sweet. As does your truck. Looks really nice.
Since you're into painting, you should repaint your top bumper part to match the truck.
Looks sweet, good job, hope they last for you.

They look damn good. Post up an update to let us know how the paint holds up.

Yes I am curious as well as to how it will last. I did use Plasti-Dip from Home Depot.

Looks good man, nice job. If it holds up well, id consider it on the front and rear bumper!
