Has anyone ever painted their tow hooks? My truck didn’t come with them but I’m considering ordering them and possibly painting them so that there’s a bit of contrast to my white truck. Was thinking maybe like a red chrome type of thing? Any advice or pics of other trucks like this? Thanks guys. Here’s a pic of my truck

IMO chrome will look better on your truck than colored...

Below is a picture of @Mustangmike66's truck and his pic might be about the closest you will find to a chrome bumper and painted tow hooks. I gotta go with @MannyHen on this one, I think the chrome hooks will look better with the chrome number.

I tested out red tow hooks on my truck. Wasn’t for me, luckily i used some version of a plastidip so it peeled off. I like to keep things a little more discrete.

Beautiful truck. Thanks for the pic. Think I'll stick with chrome. Been looking around for some online. I thought they would be less expensive lol.

I painted the tow hooks on my 2020 Laramie. Some like the look and some don't. I happen to like it. Here's a pic from my office window, zoomed in of course...

Edit...Updated with a better picture...

I powder coated mine red. Looks great in my opinion! I was going to go with a bronze color, but decided to stop spending money and not get a new set of wheels. All good, if I ever run into some money I'll order my bronze wheels and get them powder coated bronze haha. It's only 30 bucks here in Fort Worth to powder coat the hooks.

If you need to order them then I suggest that before you add them, take them to line-x and have them coated red or black.

it will hold up better than paint or power coating.
