This last weekend I did a few mods to my truck. I Painted the grill white and debadged everything on my truck except the 4x4 on the back and then I blacked out both rams and blacked out the 4x4. Almost got all the chrome off the truck. Just got the bumpers to do I'm thinking about just doing them black and then doing the door handles. I'll try to get some pictures this afternoon when I get off work.

Im curious to see if the bumpers being black on a white truck will make it look cheap and "Work Trucky" if you understand my point... I have the same exterior stlying and color as your truck, so can't wait for pics of the grille....

I have been thinking about maybe doing a different color bumper and matching the color on the bottom of the truck body... Who knows...

Yeah, I hear you on that. I have seen a couple of white trucks one here. I can't remember the guy but he has a n-fab bumper in black and it looks pretty cool. Of course that's an aftermarket badass bumper! I was thinking about just plasti-dipping it to see what it looks like and if I like it maybe powder coating it. If I don't like it then I can just peel it off and try it in white. Since I'm doing the whole black and white theme it might look OK. As long as I end of getting all the chrome off I'll be happy. Just have the bumpers, door handles and the headlights (gonna do black in there eventually).

Looks great, What sort of spacing do you have on those wheels or is that because of offset..

I like the look for a white truck--I don't think it would work on a darker color as well as it does with the white. Lighter colors can pull off the contrast. Darker colors just merge into the background without a little chrome. In my humble opinion.

It's super easy to use. Came out good. I used about 4 or 5 coats...
