Some flat black Rustoleum paint and spray can mod
what started everything
2 broken bolts that came with the rust, doh!
new used bumper i got from here. thanks kev
medium size grit
brush then roll
next!
time to spray can the rear license plate holder with flat black. mines was peeling
once removed, i stared removing the emblem...
slowly but surely..let the blade and flat head do its job...
how it looks underneath
stuff already had. flat black from Home Depot and Bulldog Adhesion Promoter, this stuff works great. used to spray this on lowered front bumpers before painting it. helps paint chip from rock chips tremendously
sand it down with 400 grit. first light coat...
2nd coat then 3rd is final. no drips
should have it all installed by tomorrow

That looks awesome dude! Yeah you HAVE to do that wheel well trim now, I love the black and the white! Black emblems maybe after? I just put my top circle logo and the SR5 logo back on my truck today, the black looks so much better than the previous gold color. I can't wait to get my other things painted!

thanks.
I might just remove the trim... also, I have a small issue with the rear spoiler. Screws on top are off but its still not off. clips? screws underneath? no access under there.
*fixed* just remove the spoiler. extra screw inside.

Nice work! Looks much better now! Reminds me of someone I know well
There are some things worth mentioning to everyone if they plan to "de-chrome" their rig:
1) For the love please wear a good respirator when sanding chrome. Chrome has some serious "nasties" that would just love to tear up your lung tissue.
2) Hand scuff, wipe clean and use a good etching primer to promote adhesion.
3) Use a quality paint, not the $0.99 junk that will last a month.
4) If you want to end up with flat black in the end, be sure to use a flat clearcoat (or it will just end up glossy).
I can try to answer questions if anyone has them. I also carry some great products for just this sort of thing. Just hit me up from my website if you need anything.
