Default Color choice!!!

I just got my hmf fab light bar mount in the mail, it's unpainted so I wanted some opinions... I have a full body shop at my disposal. My jeep is a 2012 jkus in billet silver. So here's the choices

A) body color

B) gloss black

C) flat black

D) rattle can bed liner

Option d is my least favorite as a painter I don't put much faith in spray bombs but am willing to listen to suggestions

Thanks in advance!

Flat black would be my first choice. Silver would be second.

Nice jeep!

Nice lookin Jeep. The bedliner would fit with the front bumper / rock rails / fender flairs, while the flat black would look good with the wheels / window tint. Body color would look good too, but you have a nice contrast going with the black, so I say flat black as well.

I would take it to get Rhino-lined. My duplicolor stuff has been flaking off overtime.

Well I went with the duplicolor option after a lot of thought, I wanted the holes in the brackets to show through and stand out. I sanded them with 180 grit paper, cleaned throughly, primed with self etching primer, and bed lined them. Very happy with the results
