Today's OCD question - what colour should bumper brackets be?

Mine are white if that helps. R u s toe leum smooth. The black towbar blends in nicely.
The bumperz are classic pastelweiss rattle can.

 

3 sets here, all white

 

Could it be that whoever snook in and painted your 'box gold also painted your brackets black?

 

Gonna go out on a limb here and say they threw whatever was at hand on them.

I have a feeling there was white under the underseal on mine when I stripped them back.

 

I feel that here on TLB we should celebrate bumper irons of any colour...

 

Perfect. I'll do one white and one black. And then I'll build a firewall so they can't swap sides, and I'll get one of them to pay for it.

 

I suspect given that VW's underbody treatment was basically body paint, the brackets may well have once shared their colour with the bodywork. Or in my case Pastel White, but the finish on my brackets does not seem to have any traces of white paint under the black. But maybe somebody did them with stone chip after cleaning them ..

 

Mine are black, always have been, always will be.

Unless of course when I'm gone and my kids sell the van for the cash the next owner changes them ...........

 

Thanks guys for all you replies.

I'm going to side with @Flakey and his collection of white brackets - there seem to be more white than black around, and I just can't imagine so many people looking at rusty black ones thinking 'I know, I'll paint them white'. Sorry @snotty.

So, out with the pastel weiss....

 

Very nice. Although they're the wrong colour, of course .

 

Aaghghghhhhhh!

 

I'm usually right, except when I'm arguing with the wife

 

Oh... those brackets.... yep, black i reckon!

 

Don't worry about old golden b̶a̶l̶l̶s̶gearbox, he is wrong and will learn to live with it

 

Oh for goodness sake. I'm filled with uncertainty again.
Black? White? Black? Then again...
