Painted bumper (pics)
The top corners of the tailgate were caved in so I pounded them out. I also took out the tail lights and did a little sanding on the body.Went to wally worl and found some rattle can paint that matched good. Then I painted the bumper with crome paint. I also installed a receiver.
That top pic looks like an old pic to me.

Thanks for all the responses. I was shocked at how good that chrome paint turned out.
You can put your hand next to it and it reflects like a mirror. It looks like polished aluminum.

WOW!
Big improvement,looks so much nicer...
If the rear bumper on my truck wasn't so jacked up I would probably do what you did...
There is a lot of thin surface rust in the first picture above the the left tail light...
Did you grind that out and respray that as well?
