Chrome trim was a sign of upper models of these trucks.

Consistency is key.

Leave the bumpers chrome. That way the look will go along with your window trim and also, door handles. Further, members here have informed me that powder coating isn't the best for objects left outside: if water gets under it you're rather boned rust-wise.
