I don't plan to bother with painting it to match my truck.

My truck is blue jean and part is black. Can’t see it unless the tailgate is down.

Mine has been installed for over a year and I have no plans to paint it.

Didn't paint mine. Obviously black ain't no Ruby Red but who cares? Only see it with the gate down. Didn't see the need. Plus I wanted to install it immediately!

I bought a little can of Oxford White touch-up paint and painted mine to match. Took an extra day to get a couple of coats on and let it dry. Or just put it on black. It works fine either way...
