Default to paint or not to paint

I have a 2k10 deep water blue 2dr. My tires broke the current fenders so I'm going with some buahwacker pocket fenders. Im thinking paint them. My friends say leave them black. What are your thoughts? And yes a bigger lift is next mod to fix the problem!

Me personally I wouldn't paint them. But its your Jeep, if you like it then do it. Worst case like the previous guy said, strip it and paint them black.

I don't know, maybe I'm a little different but is this what this forum is for? Making up someone else's mind on whether to paint fenders or not? Just make a decision. My decision would be to either "paint" or "don't paint".

I say paint em. I like body colored pocket flares a lot, but it didn't go with my scheme, but I still painted em with some krylon fusion flat black to get rid of that stupid glossy plastic look they came in...
