My jeep is red and my bumpers are sky blue. Paint them so they stand out, anyone can have a boring black bumper or sliders

silver would compliment your wheels i think. I'm more of a flat black guy though, looks cleaner IMO

Silver or Black you could pull off either just depends on if you want to stand out or not.

Black.

Assuming they are functional sliders? (I can't open the link) If you wanted something flashy you would have bought chrome side steps, right? Black's easy to touch up if you want to keep it clean.

They are Functional sliders and seance even Rinolining them wont last foer ever, I am going to go with Rattle can and change the scheme every time they get scratched. I am going to start with a Tri-color Slider in tribute to the company that designed the XJ. I may go to flat black but want to try some outher ideas out first.

I think semi flat black would look good.

I think the same silverish color of your rims, it will stand out but blend in with everything haha if that makes since.
