So my cherokee needed a new bumper and I was able to find a white one at the jy in great condition, I was originally going to paint it black but after mounting it up I started to like it with the white
Here's a few pics of how it looks now


And here was a concept I had a friend make, if I went with the white it would probably end up like this

So I want to know what you guys think

Was just looking at the white xj's with black on the bottom and ended up wondering what it would look like reversed... Ill probably end up going with the black bumper as it would be cheaper

it would work better if it was a flat black. it looks a little blue at first glance. you could pull it off if you like it. just since its stock bumpers, it looks like an unfinished repair job that you would see on a honda or some other cheap car
we've all seen worse though. at least it's not lime green

half finished is how it looks. or "I bought a junkyard bumper" is what it says
but like mentioned its what u like that matters,so as long as it "blows yer skirt up" go for it.
at least if anyone from this forum sees you they will instantly know youre a forum member

If your gonna keep it, colour your rockers, rear bumper and flares also, will have a very finished and co-ordinated look.
If you recoat the front bumper or the rest of the package, I'd suggest Krylon brand paint, made for adhesion and flex of polymer components, in spray bomb. Clean your surfaces really, really well with a solvent to remove all wax and oils. Remove your parts and spray seperate, or mask the balance of your truck to avoid overspray onto other surfaces. the Krylon adheres and wears well.
