Default body armor choices

I have the OR Fab side and rear armor. Sides are on and rears are waiting for a dry weekend. What I am trying to decide is whether or not to paint them to match the jeep or keep them black. What do you all think?

I'm a big fan of paint matching the corner armor.

Black.... Apparently just saying black is too short of a reply.

Here is my Armor, Poison Spyder Crusher Corners and Brawler Rockers. I painted the parts that attach to the body.

Those sure look good painted. I may give mine a shot of orange. If I don't like it I can always take it off. Hmm, maybe I will throw on a layer of plastidip before painting so I can remove it easier if I don't like it.

Now that I think about it, some black bolts on painted armor would look pretty good...
