Default should i paint my bumpers black?

i know its dirty but this is the best pic i have right now (first day i brought it home). anyways, the back of the bumpers are rusting a little and i need to get at it this summer before they get to bad. i could either POR15 the back of them, or take them and have them powder coated. i was thinking flat black?
i don't want PTM because i like how different colors break it up. but i think chrome is to flashy for this truck. BTW, if any photoshoppers are out there it would be greatlet app. if you could make it black!

Having them covered in bedliner would look good, but if you're going to get them powdercoated I'd go with body color.
