Chrome

[DThibault]

I just picked up my new Laramie this weekend. I love the truck so far. Only a little over 100 miles on it but we are in the middle of a big snow storm and I am gonna leave it in the barn for a day. The only thing that I'm not too crazy about is all the chrome on the mirrors and door handles. I there an an easy way to take down the shine a little? Thanks

I am sure any body shop could properly prep and paint them body color or whatever you choose. I ended up going Tradesman just because of $$$, but when I first started looking I figured if I went Laramie I would try to get the dealer to at least swap the shiny mirrors out with a lower trim level truck.

I don't mind the look of the chrome but functionally, the chrome on the mirrors reflects the headlights of cars behind me at night. I may Plasti-Dip them black to see if I like it or not. If it sucks, I can peel it off anytime in just minutes.

We did the centre bin surround (midday sun glare) in plastidip "aluminium" (silver) colour. Sort of matches the nearby satin trim. Going to do the same on exterior mirrors. In fact there's only a narrow strip needs to be coated, mostly on inside edge at bottom and very outer lip on top. Most of the mirror can stay chrome. That narrow strip, in silver matte, will be hardly visible from outside.

You could find someone that likes the chrome and has the plane black cheapo ones....
