Looks like im gonna either paint em black or primer them.

My guess if that If I painted them black and they were ready to put on a truck I could get more for them, but it would involve a little more time and they might not sell as fast.

If I go with primered, they may sell faster, but I dont think i'd get as much for em.

It's an undesirable bumper, it's not chrome. My rear utility bumper was welded to my frame with 1/2" plate and I cut it off to put on a chrome one.

Yeah I figure if someones got a rusted or bent bumper, they'll want it. Cheaper than new ones.

Probably gonna paint em black is what ive decided.

Gonna have some free time this weekend to work on em! Gotta sand and paint rims too.
