I am cosidering getting a color coded ARB bull bar on my next patrol. Has anybody had experience specifically with the color coding that ARB do. Do they stone chip easily? and what condition will it be in after 3 years and 100 000 kms of driving all over Aust

Hi,
I agonised over the same thing just recently, colour coded or black bullbar.
In the end I got a black TJM T15 for my Hilux. It looks heaps better than I expected. The reasons for the black are as Truckster stated, the colour coded ones look great to start with, but a few scrapes later..... Also price was a factor, $250 more for painting, plus the hassle of getting it done, I decided it wasn't worth it.
Incidently, I motor bike rider clipped the front of the car five days after I got the bar fitted. Only left a slight scrape, was quite happy with that.

LOL
No, he was fine, it just clipped the front drivers side of the bull bar, with the back of his bike. We both stopped and had a look, then kept going again...
