I don't know if I trust myself to do it lol, I will never stop kicking myself if I mess up.

I told him I wanted the grille painted, front bumper starting at the license plate down, back bumper, door handles and tailgate handle.

What do you think about me taking the side mirror covers off and door handle covers off. Painting the door handle covers to color match and leaving the window area blacked out?

The stock gas cover will go back on so I won't need to worry about that. He can paint the bottom part of the front bumper but if I do that I'm going to want to do the entire truck and that will be 700 bucks. Not worth it IMO. So I'm just figuring out some alternatives.

Why would you do the entire truck just bc you did that little bumper lip?
