My plan was to de-chrome the truck....

first was to take off the side steps and replace with Amp steps.



much cleaner....

Spent some time on the wheels next. Pulled the wheels off and the chrome trim pieces all come off from behind the wheel. three screws and the trim pops off. I coated these with Rustoleum Peel Coat in their graphite color which is an amazingly close match to the crystal granite metallic.

After:




Next was to debadge the truck. I removed all the limited trim, Ram and 2500 badges. all pealed off without to much trouble. I thought about painting them but decided against it, going for the subtle look.. yea right.



More to come....
