Greetings from California! I bought my Frontier new from a dealer. I don't tow much, i don't haul much and i wanted to save gas so i stayed with the 4 cylinder. She runs well and packs a punch for its size. Anyway, i want to spray all the chrome areas black. But Ive noticed that there's a difference between the matte bumpers and the chrome bumpers. Its a little small gap. Can u lift the the bumper up slightly to avoid the gap? or will i have to somehow acquire the matte bumper?
I just think it'll look off if there's a gap there once the bumper is painted black. Thanks in advance!

Please do not post photos side by side.

But I wasn't doing anything with my worthless life so I realigned them for you

Welcome to the group.

Chrome cost a whole lot more than paint. In the old days only the expensive trucks had chrome. Since I'm an old fart your Frontier will look cheap to me  with painted bumpers. But if it turns you on goffer it.

Have a good one.. Don S..
