What about leaving the chrome, and painting the lower black valence instead? I know there are a few members on here that have done this. Just a thought. I have painted a bunch of stuff on my truck, but never chrome.

Iv been wanting to paint my whole front end. including the chrome bumper too. i guess i should start on the valence first. is the valence hard to paint yourself? is it something you can paint with a can and get a quality look???

you can paint the valances with rattlecan, prep is the key, i seen rattlecan jobs look professional. as far as painting chrome, pm stangkilr, he painted the rear of his nnbs truck rattlecanned, im just going to buy a paintable front bumper. makes it way easier. F sanding

I think im going to look for a WT front bumber see what i can find.
If i find one cheap ill snag it up and paint but if not i may go with just painting the valance. A little bit of chrome wolnt hurt. Right? lol
