Paint back bumper-black or silver opinions

[b.eddy's72]

Let me know which way yall would go.............Black or back to silver?
Either way it will be wire wheeled all the way back down and paint with a spray gun and heavy duty equipment enam. Wheels are black, front bumper is chrome.

Silver

I did mine silver because it originally silver. I used a wire wheel on a grinder to clean it. Then hit it with self etching primer. Then a coat of "wheel paint". A lot of guys get it powder coated. This was about $15 for the paint and the wire wheel.

I like the silver too. I repainted mine recently, and went with silver. If you search my past posts, there's a pretty decent write up I did with pictures. I think the black kinda looks too much like a high school kid truck, but hey maybe that describes you. To each his own.

I like your truck! That color is cool. Any plans to paint the letters on the tailgate? Also, are you looking for that middle moulding piece above the tailgate latch? If I find one at the junkyard sometime, I could probably send one to you

absolutely silver!

Depends on what color the truck will be IMO, I would paint it to go with the color of the truck myself rather then the generic color that they came to start with.

Thank you Mister B. I do have the chrome and white decals for the letters. They are in line to be installed. I have to finish a few things first. I don't want to steal the post though.....

So there ya' go b.eddy. Silver and put tail lights in that thing, you'll be set. Also I may have a pair of BU light lenses for you. I'll take a look and send them if you don't have them yet.

No Sir but my son is a high school kid .

69GWC- I will leave the truck white because the paint that is fairly good, however after I replace the rocker panels I was thinking about doing the strip below the chrome in either black or do bed liner on it rather than trying to match the white but that will be a little while.

Longhorn 70- No sir I have not bought them yet. I have 2 decent right ones and no good left ones. I found both tail lenses and both back up lenses on ebay for $25 both dont know the quality.

I painted mine black. Once I get the truck running again, I will make it silver again. Regret is always a dish served cold.
