I'm having mine done in a few weeks. If the prep work is right, everything will be fine.

That's the one thing that I didn't want on the Platinum. I see so many driving around with the rust specks all over the bumper on older trucks. Anyone have luck with the clear vinyl bra covering on bumpers?

I've spent a good bit of money with him on my last two trucks. I thought it should have been more, but that is all he quoted me.

Wow. I'm looking at $1k+ and no luck in finding anyone nearby with a Magnetic Platinum willing to trade. Also, shops are super apprehensive about doing it due to the prep and possibility of the paint chipping/flaking. I know wrapping them just won't look right. Gunna have to keep my eyes open and shop around!

For those looking to have chrome painted....have you looked into any of the bedliner spray companies in your area. Most can color match to the color of your truck and I would think that s**t would adhere to anything...also be elastic enough to guard against chips. Just a thought.
