paint tjm all silver, hoops silver?? ps pic inside (crappy 30sec job)

I want to give my runner a little bit of a different look to it, i see a lot of tjm15s, one id like to see what it would look like silver. I do have stock pic if anybody else wants to take a stab at it. I can draw and illustrate like nobodys business but when it comes to color changing it aint my business.

Just a warning...from my experience in previous posts, it seems that polling between color-matching vs. contrast is gonna yield a split outcome.

I personally like when things are color matched and I think that bumper would look pretty sweet in silver.

If I ever get a tjm, I would color match the sob... Only reason why I don't have one right now actually...

Bumper + shipping + paint is just too much for me... Now if I find someone locally selling a used one... I would jump on it in a heartbeat...

I say do it! Here's a quick 5 minute PS...

is it worth having it powder coated instead of sprayed to give it a tougher surface?? after all its going to take some hammer mate.

looks fantastic by the way!!!

I've been a big fan of color matching and think that Bamachem's looks so damn sweet color matched but...

I really like the look of your truck as is. The black goes well w/ your color truck, especially w/ the lift, wheels and factory hood scoop.
