Default Bumper

My wife ordered me a new front bumper, I know I'm a lucky guy.

2 inch receiver and mounts for fog lights with the trim and lens installed.

But she ordered it in Sierra Chrome, I have a Black JK and I don't like chrome.

Short of sanding it and using some black spray paint what other options do I have to finish this really nice bumper. I know I'll have to sand it but what other finish options do I have?

Congrats on such a nice wife. She is just trying to please you, tell her the truth, and get a black one, unless you really like chrome, which would be okay.

The shipping on this thing is "stupid expensive" it's heavy.

I think the line X or Rhyno was what I was thinking about.

She thought she ordered the black but I called discount jeep parts and they have chrome as what was ordered.

It's not really a Chrome plate it's Serria Chrome paint, maybe it will look ok as is I'll take a pic of it infront of the jeep after work and post it.
