Default Homemade Bumper

I wanted a smaller, more simple bumper. I opted to make one. My original plan was to add a stinger but I like the way it looks without. I can always add it later. Also should I paint it or leave it raw?

Looks good as is. The thing I don't like about painted bumpers is the scratches in the paint once you start driving it in rough terrain. It really depends on you though, do you like how it looks or does it bug you that it doesn't match the rest of the rig?

Bumper looks great bro! IMO I would paint it. That way it matches what you have going on. Yea the rocks might take a little paint here and there, but touch-up isn't hard.

I would paint it. I don't see many brushed aluminum bumpers out there.

I would leave it raw, because it goes well with the satin wheels as it sits.
