Colour coding usually looks shit imo.

Gloss black or a grey colour, Satin/Matt black looks like standard, and if your going for the standard look, just use some decent black plastic stuff.

Mine isnt, I used some turtle wax black stuff, 6months later it still looks very very dark grey.

Nova bumpers were the same until it got sat for 6months.

Edit: Done 5months ago, checked date.
Still looks dark imo.
