Haven't decide yet. I have the chrome bumpers and the white gloss truck, but its always dirty so I'm thinking flat black. I'll decide when i buy the paint.

yea, atleast if its dirty it will be hard to tell, with gloss black it'd look gray if it was dirty lol jk, im thinking about taking off my silverado and chevrolet emblems on the tail gate would i just use floss or fishing line and just floss it off?

I would use fishing line, and heat up the emblem with a hair dryer or something, then clean the area with alcohol. I thought bout doing that to mine. But jsut haven't commited. I'll see how the painting goes first.
