Subscribing, because I am getting ready to do the same thing. I was told that the finish was originally gloss.

Re: painted bumper color?

As I recall the white is really white, not an off white. If you don't like the gloss finish, use semi gloss not flat.

Honestly they should be gloss white and if you want to drive and enjoy the truck I would get them powder coated.....
