Want to paint the bumper....color options

I am seriously considering painting the black plastic molding on my rear bumper. These are my ideas:

1. Paint it Titanium to match my paint

2. Paint it black to keep the same general look, but a much brighter, cleaner finish than the flat black plastic

3. Paint it gunmetal to look similar to the molded lower sections on the Authentic MS kit

The picture in the link you posted looks really nice. I may have to consider doing this to my Nordic Green. I vote for same color as the car.

Me and Jaguargod have been discussing this. This coming Monday I'm going to have the black portion of my rear bumper painted "off black", as well as the side portion of my Ings rear. I'll post pics and keep you posted how it comes out.
