Default D-ring color help
Click image for larger version Name: image-4187317911.jpg Views: 296 Size: 42.1 KB ID: 557276

Just got this bumper and I can't decide on a color to paint the d-rings so I'm looking for some input. I was thinking red or match the car and go with anvil

Let's here your thoughts

Paint? The paint will just chip off right? I would buy the black ones and call it a day

It's much easier to inspect them for cracks if they are not painted. I would leave them be

I painted mine safety red. Makes it a lot easier to find them if you drop one in sand/leaves/soft dirt.

Mine are off inside the jeep until I need them... Sadly, if they stay on all the time someone walking by will just help themselves to them.

Painting them in case of a drop at night sounds like a good idea. 10 mile orange here we go!

I also keep mine in the jeep, recovery bag, not hanging on the outside all of the time.
