Wanting to blackout my truck, what are the best options for blacking out my chrome grill and bumpers? I have a 2009 Dodge ram 1500 laramie, with dual exhaust and sensors on the rear bumper.

Grill paint, bumpers I don't know nothing I did worked. Plasti dip or monsta liner, pass on it. I would suggest taking to a body shop and asking. Can you powder coat chrome?

Check this out. Might have solved my own problem, glad u posted.

Preval.

You can powder coat bumpers they need to be prepped with some sort of acid wash I believe ........ I just traded in my 2012 and bought a black express thought it was easier lol...... I'd take the grill to a body shop and have it sprayed

I decided to go the acid wash route. I have a guy that can paint them, he's done it before. And yes! They are Westin steps. They have held up very well, I got them for 180~ you can install them yourself easily. My tires are the 35x12.50x20 Atturo Trail Blade MT's and they are pretty good as far as I can tell. $1074 for a a set off CustomOffsets.com and thats the best price I found.
