I did the chrome plugs from lowes.

for colored bumpers, get a paint touch up pen and you can make them match pretty easily.

For what it’s worth mine ended up peeling off from regular washing so in the end it wasn’t worth it.

Where did you end up getting yours from?
Local body shop painted them for me. Same guy made me plugs in B5 Blue to cover the holes left when I swapped over to the Hellcat spoiler on my Charger. Those are going on 4 years with no peeling.

SO I am not alone........

I have had 2 of the 4 loose the paint out of the clear blue sky. I only noticed it when washing my truck the other day. Only one was missing the paint. By the time I finished washing anothers paint had popped off. All hand washing. Never seen a automated car wash.

I pm'd cobrar97 and got no response but he has posted in threads since then. I know they werent super expensive so I am guessing he thinks people will just cut their losses. Which is unfortunate.

I'm going to more than likely remove them, sand them, and apply the Billet Silver Touch Up Paint I bought. I'll also hit them with some clear coat paint too for extra protection. I'll report back! I agree that they weren't terribly expensive, but if I do something to sell to people, I do my best to give them a quality product.

Agreed. I even asked the seller when I first got them if they were even cleared because they didnt look or feel like it. He said they were. But I am starting to believe they were not.

Did you find touch up paint in spray or only in brush on? I know you can find clear in spray. I have the ivory tri coat so I may be screwed getting a spray for that.

I got the pen / brush applicator. I saw a Billet Silver Mopar Spray on Amazon. Ivory Tri Coat maybe a special blend?

At both Lowe's and Home Depot, they are in the screw/bolt isle in the area with all the drawers. There's a pic on the front of the drawer. No painting needed-I installed mine in the parking lot.
Perfect, thank you so much!
