New bumper covers need paint

Hi Tom, there really are no consequences leaving them black. As far as painting them, if you are willing to let them black, I would just get a few cans of paint made for plastic that matches your car. That's the cheapest thing to do. You can't use regular paint. It needs to have a flex additive in it, otherwise, anytime you push on the plastic and it flexes, the paint will crack.

Also, if you have a paint sprayer, use a single-stage urethane paint with a flex additive. That is the cheapest way I know if to do it that way.

I attached the directions below for the removal and replacement of the front and rear covers.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Yes, you must use a primer before applying the topcoat.
