Paint Black Bumpers to Match Truck or Leave Black

[gmartin1215]

Hi All!

Seeking opinions.

I have new bumpers for the front and rear of my lifted 2009 Tahoe. The bumpers have been coated with black bed liner. My Tahoe has the Silver Birch Metallic color (my profile pic shows the truck).

I am debating if I want to paint my bumpers to match the Tahoe color (it can be done using a one-part urethane paint from an auto body store), or leave them black. Part of me thinks leaving them black would be ok and have a nice contrast with the silver. However, another part of me feels that painting these to match the truck's color would look good too, and not as apparent as black.

What would you do?

I think the bumpers would look strange if they were color matched. Black or dark grey would be my choice.

Use AI to mock it up.
Black is probably gonna look better.

I see a tube bump-er and I want it paint-ed black.
No colors any-more, I want them to turn black...

imho

Post some new pics when you can. Your sig currently shows gray color.

I got the front bumper installed. I am definitely glad I stayed with the black color!

Looking tough!

But you need some round lights because that bumper looks great..

Those are on the wish list. Need to use these square ones until I get the rounds
