Here is the running boards. Not sure I like the, in Black, may switch to the gray I used on the grill. This summit paint really takes some finess spraying. Even on a 75 degree day, the stuff dryers almost as quick a lacquer!!

That is one sweet looking truck there !
You could consider painting the bumper grey as well if you decide to do the running boards.

Yes, I need to get the passengers side of the bumper straightened, before I paint it and the gray is the color I'm considering. I'm also considering repainting the running boards from black to the gray also. We will see. I only have one big piece in primer and that's the drivers upper front fender. Will try to get it all done in a month or so.
