Paint running boards? Or no?

Grille honeycombs are painted matte black color and bow ties are black also.

Black will look much better. I have the same type of steps except their for a CC and they look great matte black.

the only other chrome on that truck is the front bumper. making all chrome black would look sweet, I think.

If you could get them powder coated, it would wear much better than paint

Easy to paint 'em any color you want, but passengers should be cautioned to step only on the rubber treadles, or take off their boots before boarding.

Had a 97 Indigo Blue Tahoe with nerf bars that were color matched. Over 9+ years of ownership they aged quite well. Did tell the guy who did them plus bumpers, grille, mirrors and handles to not cheap out on material.

They would look good black for sure, you can always look into spray-on bedliner as well, very durable and has a good texture so it's not slippery.

Plasti-dip them black... if you dont like it then just peel the paint right off

Vote two for Plastidip. Would take you maybe two cans to do a nice thick layer. Bonus chip protection, peel it off after a couple years. I did my entire snowmobile with it.

I painting my chrome running board on my F150 with herculiner. Looked good for a few months but Chicago winter took its toll on them. Chrome is really hard to prep for paint.

Here's the how to I wrote.

So I took yalls advice.

I used plastidip one can it coated pretty well but may go back with another can later on.

Good advice I think it looks MUCH better

I would Line-X them. They will be indestructible and have excellent grip. The Plastidip looks good right now, and I am a firm believer in the product, but I think very quickly it will get pitted very badly and peel off.
