The running board idea sounds good to me prob look good too and if u don't like it u can always paint them back to black . I used plasti dip on my chrome grill n valance and they have done great for 2 winters here in maine getting hit with salt n rocks only had 1 chip but the dip is so easy to fix .

yeah thats what i was thinking too. hopefully using the pastidip as the base coat the duplicolor will stick well too.

Idk never thought of using it as a base . Let me know how that turns out.

Thank you for the clarification I just didn't know if it was safe to spray over plasti dip. I want my chrome to be untouched later I can remove if I decide to. How much was the can, if I may ask. And my truck is about the same color what paint code you have?

so far the paint is holding up fine. i just used white plastidip as a base coat. i recommend using black instead of white though. i have like $30 into painting this grill from start to finish. used 1 can of plastidip as a base, 2 8 oz cans duplicolor body match paint, and 1/2 can of clear lacquer. i dont remember what the paint code is but it is indigo blue metallic. your paint code is on the tag in the glove box.

but im not sure about what im going to do with the running boards. i thought about painting the outside of the boards body color, but leaving the part where you step black. not sure yet.

I did a similar paint scheme to my running boards a couple of years ago.

Did you spray it out of a can? If so where'd you get the red?

Yes, spray paint for plastic from Home Depot that was a very close match. Last year I checked for the paint at HD and HD stopped carrying it.
