Flareside bottem trim

Hey everybody I'm wondering if anybody has any opinions on how I should go about doing this: Here is a picture of my truck as it sits currently

I would like to make it look like this:

Basically I would like to get rid of all the chrome trim and replace it with the black/charcoal. Can I buy it anywhere or can it be painted? Also would I need new bumpers or can they be painted aswell?

I'd Line-X it with their colored material. It won't fade and they'll prep it all so it won't flake off. It'll protect better than paint too.

You could get FX(2 or 4) trim and bumpers, or STX bumpers as they are color matched too. But my vote is still for the Line-X.

Powder coat is the only way to effectively go....anodizing is also but not near as durable.

Can anyone tell me if the Charcoal on the bottom of the truck is just paint or is it actually a stick-on strip like the chrome on mine? Some pictures it looks like its just paint but I cant really tell forsure
