Painted my D-rings yellow for my recovery system. Whatever floats your boat, go for it. Just remember though if you do use them it will eventually rub off. |

I've been painting mine red for so many years that I feel that Jeep copied my look. I use duplicolor engine enamel in Chevy Orange

Painted my d rings orange. Didn't last the winter. Used em to pull a guy out of the snow and tore all the pain off. Don't bother painting them or pray u never have to use them Sent from my iPhone 5 |

Back in the 70s I kept mine painted red thinking they'd be easier to see if I dropped one while out somewhere. But like mentioned they get scratched up etc if used. Now I paint them once and the heck with them |

Now I paint them once and the heck with them That's actually a very good reason to paint them. Can't imagine trying to look for some black ones laying around. |

One thing that might sway someone either way is the ability to remove them. I have Atthehelm's recovery system so I have D-rings that can easily be removed vs the stock tow hooks that might be a different story. |

They're not just painted, they're covered in a bedliner like material. |

i feel like keeping them painted helps keep them from rusting. Especially if you live up in the NE where theres salt everywhere. |
