I think once you do your hitch and maybe Alittle pd on the mudflaps and you should be looking better then new!

should I PD the whole mudflap?

 

[Tucson4runner]

I think just the black part would look good. Not sure how it would look if you painted all of it, I think it would be noticeable

Well now that I take a second look. I think you should wait and once you get your new bumper do the entire mudflap and I think that would look sick. And it would match the front end well.

Did you sand the chrome down and prime it or just PD over the chrome? I recently painted my bumper and it was a lot of work.

can't take pics right now cuz my camera seems to be broken -.- but if you can post what yours looks like i could tell you if mine looks the same. cuz mine seems a bit dirty on some parts but from a distance it looks fine i think. haha.
