I have a tradsman model and I want to paint the black upper bumper cover to match my body color, white. Anyone do or see this done before?

I know the bumpers changed in 13. But are any of the guts the same on a 10? Like would a 13 bumper cover go on a 2010 sport?
Are you painting the grille black or red this time? I think it looks best red.
I'm ordering this swap now. The only issue I see is the quantities if certain bolts, nuts, pins, etc.
Attached us what I came up with

I got my bumpers swapped out this weekend, overall it wasn’t too difficult. The worst part was putting the air dam on, it took forever to get all the clips in simultaneously. The damn things kept popping out on me as I worked my way around. I’m thinking it may have been a lot easier if I had installed it before attaching the bumper cover to the truck though. Also, I still ended up with a few parts that I didn’t need. So for future reference, these are the only parts I ended up needing for the swap that I couldn’t reuse from the old bumper……
68197698AA BUMPER COVER W/O PARK SENS or 68239435AA BUMPER COVER W/PARK SENS.
68003844AA AIR DAM PUSH PINS

Thanks again OP for the write up, it was a HUGE help!
Finally got my front bumper conversion done.
