What do you plan on using the truck for? Looks good as is (plus the windows tinted).

Paint the bumpers to match the truck, really makes it look like a high price tag truck for not alot of cash.

Yeah, using high quality spray paint and a good clearcoat can you should be able to get pretty dang close.

If you want it to be dead on you can do the prep work yourself and have the paint done professionaly. Shouldn't cost too much that way.

Either way just take your time. The prep work is where you make or break a paint job.
