I've been debating turning my chrome bumpers, front and rear, black on my '16 HD Tradesman CTD. I do have a black billet grille (haven't update my avatar picture yet) and I am going to put a black Westin Sprotsman's Grille Guard/ Winch Mount with a 12,000-pound Smittybuilt winch. (have the grille guard and winch, just haven't had a chance to put it on.) I guess if I am going to do it the time would be before I install the grille guard/winch mount. I was thinking Plasti Dip to accomplish this but then I wasn't too sure about how it would hold up, especially in an occasional off-road environment. Also, I have the factory chrome clads and if I do change them out for custom wheels it won't be until the present set of tires wears out which probably won't be for at least two years or more (based on my usual driving mileage). I know I could Plasti Dip the wheels too but I'm thinking that would be a lot of work and the off-road environment would be even worse on the wheels. I'm kind of leaning toward just leaving the bumpers and wheels chrome since they'd at least match that way.
So, should I stay chrome on the bumpers or black them out? Also, any other options that won't break the bank, or require the bumpers be removed, that I should consider to black them out if I go that route?
