Ya, post back on here and let us know about its scratch resistance!

I have been thinking about using spray on bed liner like that in the back of my truck. Pulling out the floor and side carpeting and spraying liner. What do you think about that? Any better ideas?

I also want to paint the ugly, and in my case, broken chrome grille strip black like you've done. Nice work!

its still holding ok. at the back of the bumper its starting to chip off from rocks shooting off my tires. It probably would have been much more affective if I would have gotten the bed liner role on kit

yea I sanded it. I don't think bed liner sticks very well to plastic. I'm probably going to sand it down again and get some good plastic paint. it is holding up very well on my bump bar and bumper thou

yea. tinted headlights suck even with HIDs I would not recommend it. I have the stock lights and bumper lights back in now. there is a big difference in visibility. my roof rack is pealing too... I might have to fix this one of these days. do you have the LT grill like me or is yours an LS? you could always match the color of your truck with your grille. I always liked uniform color on cars kind of like the newer trail blazers that don't have the chrome grill molding

i have the same as you, and was thinking actually the same thing to match it to the paint, i just was worried that the paint might be faded and not match the grill right

I think as long as you get a close match to the color it shouldn't be a problem. the bumper coating doesn't match my blazer's black but you can't really tell unless you are really close
