I would lean towards the silver paint, but then I am not a fan of chrome. And I also don't have to scuff and paint the bumper as well as keep up the appearance on it which will be more with paint.

Just my nickels worth...

Then I applied a coat of GravelTec, this stuff sticks to anything and is a textured stone guard that I have used for a number of applications including the new running boards, and the bottom of the body line of the truck.

I want to do a couple more coats of GravelTec tomorrow, then Rustolium Hammered Silver. Should have it done tomorrow.

Thanks for the input guys,...
