Default What color?

I have a Alpine green 04 xlt triton 4.6l reg cab 4x4. I think it's like one of a kind because I can't find any others on the freaking Internet. But it has chrome bumpers. What color should I paint them? Everything else is blacked. Will post pics

Trade bumpers with somebody that has an XL and paint the XL bumpers. Much easier and cheaper than painting over chrome/removing chrome to paint them.

There are plenty of alpine greens... alot of them have the two tone sand color on the bottom. Anyways, i agree that buying xl's would be easier. You can buy primed oem bumpers from ford or several aftermarket companies sell them, minimal prep is required.

PTM all the way!

Or sand blast the bumpers and use a self etching primer thats my plan but i have easy access to a sand blaster or scuff them up really good with 100-150 grit sand paper and use the self etching primer

I can get them sand blasted. Im just wondering what color looks good with green and black. I was thinking match them with the green on the truck.

I didn't even think about rhino lining it. That's probably what I'll do.
