Default Painted tow hooks

I am in the process of painting my tow hooks tonight. I removed the front and rear bumpers so that I could remove the tow hooks for painting. Thankfully there are YouTube videos to show me how to do that. I sanded them with 220 grit sandpaper, then spray painted them with Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance enamel. I spray painted them outside so that the overspray was on the snow, then brought them inside in my basement near the heater to dry. I'll put the Jeep back together tomorrow with the painted hooks.

I paint mine red. Easier to find when you drop one in the dark and/or into sand/mud/leaves/water.

I took mine off, sprayed them with self-etching primer, then hit them with Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance enamel. Love the look but I'm thinking about taking them off and having them powder coated instead.
