Painted grille/bumpers vs chrome is a preference thing only IMO.
The paint holds up fine. Yes there will be wear and tear but judging by my 2 vehicles 9 and 10 years old, the painted one has held up better.
Have replaced the chrome grille on the truck once like 5 years ago, chrome peeled off. Bumper is rusting and the rest of the truck is rust free. 135kmi and the grille is discolor ing again.
06 charger, painted, 100kmi shows less west and tear and is original.
I think Dodge at one time had front bumpers that rusted but was probably due to poor quality control at the plater,
I have seen plenty of trucks of all brands with rusted bumpers.
More an issue of owners not washing road salt off than defective plating.
