Default 05 GMC front bumper painted?

Alrite guys one of my buddys gave me the idea to paint my 05 bumper "'white" meaning no more chrome? Im not sure if i should do it still debating it might give it more aggressive look to it i think.

does anybody have a pic of a 05 bumper painted or photoshop?

Leave the chrome IMO. A lot of colors look good colormatched, but white isn't one of them, just too much white. Is your grill painted?

If it was a Silverado I'd say do it. But haven't seen any white color matched Sierra's
