Default Couple questions....

1. Painting the stock grill trim (now chrome) black. Same technique for painting my wheels?

2. 2'' lowering/leveling kit in the rear affecting alignment? Best if I don't plan on putting bigger tires?

3. Taking off emblems and painting black, again same tech for wheels?

I really dislike chrome on my truck and am planning on getting a new bumper or something.....

plasti-dip that hoe. no sanding, just clean and degrease. peels off easily if you dont like the look, but its pretty durable and wont peel on its own. $5.78 a can and takes 2-3 cans for rims so you can kinda guestimate what it will be for bumpers and stuff

Hate to break your heart RH but I'm not totally against the idea of dippin...I just want something that isn't going to peel off and....be durable when I need it to be
