It really depends on the color of the vehicle. Painted white parts really stick out. Other colors like Grays blend well.

I just purchased a new steel bumper and had it painted to match body color (Granite), I think it looks great. I will be installing it this week.

Another idea that someone mentioned was LineX. They now match color body. You could have mirrors, bumpers and handles Granite but in a matte finish. Something to consider.

Good luck.

I like the matching side mirrors. Everything else i prefer the OEM look.
Same, I plan on painting the front plastic piece of my mirrors and leaving the “back” or outer plastic piece the plastic black.

I say do as you wish. Same people that think their Jeep’s look great others think look cheap and stupid.

If you are going to paint my only recommendation is pay to have it done well. I have seen some amazing work of guys painting the rough black plastic to look like glass and it looks amazing. I saw some once black fenders painted to match by this guy and you could not tell a difference.

I painted all of the cheap looking black plastic body color on my Jeep. Looks much better in my opinion.
Even painted the antenna 😳 that a bit too much paint matching... the door handles are nice looking though.
