Default Need some opinions! Paintmatching..

Been really considering doing some paint matching on my front a rear bumpers lately. My truck is white and the bumpers are blacked out (used to be chrome part coated in a semi-gloss black) and I like the color scheme going on now but since they're totally blacked out it kinda gives it that cheap w/t appearance and I'm not too crazy about it anymore.

So I've got the idea to paint the middle piece (metal part) of the front bumper white to match the truck as well as painting the rear bumper white except for the plastics. The idea is really starting to grow on me so I figured I'd ask you guys to get a few opinions on what y'all think.

Something else I even considered is getting the SS bumper cover for the front, but I dont really like how it looks without the rest of the SS cladding on the truck.

Here's a pic of my truck how it sits now.

I like the grill idea and think I would paint something on the front bumper too. Either the metal or the plastics.


P.S. Do you know what snowballing is? Just curious because your screen name really drew my attention.

Don't guess I do, my Dad always calls my truck snowball cause it's white so that's where I came up with the screenname.

Thanks for the opinions they all would look pretty sweet. I also need some ideas on a grille insert. Im thinking either a black mesh speed grille insert or the classic horizontal billet grill powdercoated black.
