Just bought one of the new Ames repro parts. Just wanted to reiterate that it should be painted argent silver before installing, correct?

My original was damaged and repaired (poorly), so wasn't sure what it should be.
Thanks
I believe so. I painted my new one silver. Looks good. I recommend test fitting first and to be gentle. My bumper is a rechrome and one side of the opening was tighter than the other. I found the repro to break if stressed. I am still very impressed with the product. Just don't try to force anything. It looks great installed. I bought a spare in the event I need to replace it. Sometimes I want things perfect. But it's been a long wait and I'm happy to have it! Ames rules.
