Weeelllll...I'll tell ya, I'm kinda inbetween on the mirrors. I like the black mirrors BUT with the direction you are going with your truck I think it might look good. I mean after all the way you going the only thing left black will be your tires so I say paint the mirrors. On your truck i think it'll look sick.

I wouldn't have painted the bumper pads. paint the mirrors for sure. I've seen only one or two trucks with painted mirrors, and it looks great.

yea well i am leaning on painting the mirrors but i might have those done at a shop dont know yet. the front pad i dont think is a big deal bc its not slippery and still feels the same as before just with paint on it.

Its not whether or not its slippery that would be the problem, the problem I would see with doing it is IF you or anyone else were to kneel on it or step on it and set a tool down on it like so many shops usually do, if that paint isn't really tough it's going to scuff and scratch and after a while look really bad. If you think it'll be fine though then thats great, personally though I would have my doubts on it.

What kind of paint did you use? I say definitely do the mirrors and you should also do the door handles.

Looks good Silver. If it was me, I would paint just the mirrors to match. I like trucks that have all the parts matching.
