If you paint it, Take out the little Hummer Rubber Letters with a blowdryer and a hooked awl. Do not paint it Gloss Black, use a satin or a matte or a flat, Try to match the Sheen of the Metal bumper below it, not the rubber but the metal.

We are gonna re do all my black in a Satin Black, its too shiny.
This grill we painted on my rig now was already factory Blue, so no stripping was needed, My original was chrome and I traded a friend for his blue, thus saving me from having to strip the chrome, then prime then paint.
