Looks great! Might try to do this so its permanent rather than plasti dip.

i used the duplicolor bedliner the first time I painted over my chrome and it help up very well. I recoated them recently with plastikote bed liner that I got from tractor supply and I like it much better.

Scuffed them with 220 grit sandpaper first. I hear it may fade but I'll just add a fresh coat if it bothers me. Took about 4 hours.

Have you done the grill yet? we want to see pics. I'm going to plastidip my mirrors and door handles and brush gaurd, the H3X has way to much chrome.

Did you take them off first or just leave them on?

Took everything off, very easy to do. Search for removing those items here on the forum. They tell you step by step. Took me 4 hours to disassemble,paint and reassemble. Without the grill, doing that this weekend, will post picks when done. One thing I saw was to clean off nozzle between coats cause it will cause paint to splatter if not.
