Default got a new black sport bumper

its in better shape then my old bumper but it was really faded. i compounded it twice and then i've used mothers back to black cause that alone worked on my old bumper.
but its still gray and im not sure if i should paint it or be more patient and keep buffing it out. any opinions? anyone know any better way to clean it up?

heres my old dented bumper

and the "new" one. i might put the old red covers on. not sure on that either.

josh when i took the step part off it was black under there like my bumper. why can't people take care of there **** lol. this bumper was ashy grey/white before i cleaned it. but it was 30 bucks so i can't whine.

thanks thunder, im liking the all black i might paint these to match the fenders. but if i use the red you can have them.

the lower parts looked bad with the gray bumper so i took the whole thing off and painted it. it doesn't exactly match the front but its better then the nasty gray. pics make it look pink and gray but its actually red and black.
