Should I paint my valance?

[NJ04HOE]

Hello all,

I recently lost a foglight lens on my LT so instead of buying a new set I decided to get a black Z71 valance with the round lights. Now i'm trying to decide should I leave it black and put it on or paint it to match the truck (silverbirch)?
I have seen a few on the road with the valance painted but I was wondering if anyone here had a painted one? Is it worth it considering rock chips and the fact that it's flexible plastic etc?

Thanks

When I first painted mine (black) all I got were chips so the white fiberglass underneath really looked great, Then I got the 3M clear bra it was a great investment and theres enough to do the fenders and hood to

I say paint, always looks good painted, looks more classier, takes away the basic truck look.

I'd say paint it. If you are worried about chips use the clear bra, and that'll save it from chips.
