Shiat. You could probably meet up with someone and do an even swap. Lots of guys that have chrome want painted. It would be good for both parties to get quality OEM materials instead of settling for aftermarket stuff.
I'd post up in the WTT section of the classifieds. You never know.

Finding someone to do a straight trade with white might be tough to find but if you think about it you could trade and still spend less getting it painted than purchasing crappy after market bumpers that won't last. I would just trade someone with factory chromes even if the color is different on the plastic parts!

wow all the more wish I had gone with an SLT instead of ST ! ! ! I'd make this swap in a HEART beat. Good luck finding someone or selling then buying. Either way my end result on my truck will be the sport bumper or my ST abs black bumper painted white.

You are welcome lol!
The only reason I say this is because I used to work at a bodyshop and at times they would order after market chrome for people who requested it and they never really lasted or kept up like the factory bumpers. I am not saying there isn't a supplier who does offer a great chrome aftermarket bumper but "you get what you pay for"! You shouldn't have a problem finding someone to trade as someone else mentioned due to the fact that most Ram owners on here like body colored bumpers. I personally like my chrome but who knows... that may change down the road. Too much chrome is too tacky.
