Default What color should I paint these?

So I recently got new bumpers for my truck, and am planning on selling the old ones. Ive sanded out the rust and started to primer them, but I got to thinking... What color will make these sell the quickest?

I was planning on going with grey, but havent bought the paint yet, so anything can be on the table.

I'll put up pictures tomorrow of where im at, but want to get some opinions of which color would be more likely to sell the fastest on craigslist!

Suggestions on painting rims too!

Thanks!

I say black, because i feel like people would want black bumpers more than grey ones b/c maybe they wanted to black out their truck or maybe they have the night edition. the low end (XL versions like mine) have the grey bumper, and in my opinion, i do not like it. Im about to purchase a chrome bumper so i can get rid of all the grey

Or maybe sell them to someone and paint it the color they want?

What twilliams said. Put them up for sale ready to paint. But offer to paint for an additional charge.

Lime green, with black pin stripes. Add some stickers, tell the local ricer clubs they are new aerodynamic wings lol.

On a more serious note if they were mine and I wanted them sold, I would primer them and sell them as unpainted or, as others have suggested, paint them after the sale. Just my two cents.

Nobody buys non-chrome bumpers unless they're going to color match them to their truck.

This in my opinion. They will sell more quickly. For the record I voted "other"
