Put some black grip tape on the top of the bumper where your stand (will also help keep your feet from sliding off when leaning way in), then dip the rest of the bumper so it matches the grill. Truck looks good!

With the dip, at least when it starts to come off, I can peel the whole thing and redo the wheel. When it starts to separate from the wheel and it needs to come off, I doubt the paint would peel off as easily as the dip would.
I just don't wanna have to do a redo every month.

Nice, but paint will peel off of chrome too, eventually.

I have painted chrome that has lasted. Sand, self etching primer, than paint. Did the whole front bumper on my 94 I had, and it held up great, even with me standing on the bumper to work under the hood.

I thought chrome rims had to be de-chromed (if thats even possible) before they could be refinished.
I don't wanna hijack this thread, so I'm gonna start a new one.
