Re: What colour should I paint my 1972 step bumper?

That would make the paint color not as critical as if it were a factory part. If I am correct then paint it a color you like. A lot of wheel paint has metallic in it and holds up well. This also comes in spray cans, is easy to apply with good results.
Thanks for the reply! I assumed it was bolted on from factory but if they were dealer installed that would definately make sense!
