bumper what color to paint?

Xjforme · Jan 27, 2006

I've orderd a jcr offroad bumper for my 00 xj, which is white. The bumper is unfished and I've been going back and forth weather to paint the bumper the same color as the cherokee (white) or paint it black? It the xj is the sport edition and has the end caps are black on the rear bumper and the door handles and top rack are black. Also the fender flares are the color of the xj.

yucca-man go ahead and paint your bumper that color and let me know how it turns out.

Mine's already painted - I didn't have to ask the masses for their opinions about it either. Keep that crap over at JU.

make up your own mind. it's your jeep. why would you listen to a bunch of people who you don't know?

Xjforme · Jan 27, 2006

because I thought I would ask people who enjoy wheeling like I do. Looking for a constructive answer.

A "constructive answer?" Brother, if you're in the market for constructive answers, you really should ask constructive questions. Asking about the feasability of mods, or troubleshooting - those are constructive questions.

Selecting a colour? That's a personal choice - and you can (and should!) paint your bumper whatever colour you damn well please. I do offer one suggestion - that "white" you've got on there already is only a primer, cover it with something.

Oh - I've got a tested (and registered...) IQ of well over 50, so does that meet your criterion?

yes you do meet my critera 5-90. Thanks for the input.

Having commented earlier, I note that I've forgotten something...

Bumpers should be painted a readily-available colour. Being subject to abuse, keeping a spray-bomb of a matching colour might be useful - for touch-up work...

paint it black, easy to touch up and it will look fine too

Dupli-color spray can bed liner. Available at Autozone. Holds up well and is easy to touch up. BTW, it's black.

If you are going to trash on someones IQ you really should proof-read your posts!

Perfect for an assault on West Hollywood

Smartarsery aside, I vote for black for all the same reasons as everyone else who recommended black did. Duplicolor bedliner *is* tougher than paint, FWIW.

Nope, scratches off easier. 99cent rattle can is best.
