What are you opinions on colour coding steel bumpers?
The big bumpers look great colour coded but do you think the steel ones look pants painted, better or leave them black as intended?

I pondered it but didn't do it. Split screens and bays regularly have them. I ended up going with black.

I think it can look good if done right and on the right coloured van. I saw a nice blue and white t25 with white bumpers and it looked alright

I have to agree with you. I'm going to do the van light blue so I'll Rustoleum the bumpers to match and see what it looks like if they look pants then I'll go black and at least they'll be protected.
Anyone tried that chrome spray? I'm thinking I'll look sh!te

I coded my numbers on my van...I think it makes it look a little bit less like a commercial vehicle and more like a camper...I left them black on my pickup as I wanted it as original as possible but I do like them painted to colour I gotta say.
