My LC is silver and will have mine colored powdered coated to match just like JB's.
The black ARB on silver would certainly give it an aggressive look, but I want to retain it's modern look and yet be a little more unique. I have yet to see a color matched ARB in my area and it looks a little more classy.
just my $.02
I had mine sprayed. 2mils of 1F7 color matched paint, then 3mis of clear coat.
It still looks great and matches perfectly. I will rarely ever hit the painted parts, so it wasn't a problem for me. The panels on the underside I left black and those get scraped. I have a few nicks in the paint from rocks, trees, etc. but nothing major. A few very light pinstripes on the sides from bushes, but they could be buffed out if I cared.
For a silver vehicle, I like the color match. On the gray or black vehicles, leaving it would be fine.
I didn't look too much into powder coating because it's a PITA. First, you would have to completely sand and/or sandblast all of the factory powdercoat off. Basicly, it wasn't worth it for me and I heard that there could be issues color matching power perfectly. I don't know how accurate that is, but paint was the way to go for me.
This info is from ARB USA as well...down under, they are all color matched via paint.
