I just sand blasted my tow hooks and had my bumpers painted. Im getting ready to paint my tow hooks and thought about painting them red. I think some of the newer vehicles have red tow hooks? What do you guys think? Is it too much or is this where 'less is more' comes into play with the factory black. Anyway, thanks for the $.02.

On a previous truck, I had silver paint with red accents...high lift jack, red shackles, red strips on the ax handle, etc...Looked pretty good with the consistent red color sprinkled around the truck. I lean toward painting them black though.
Love the responses! Lots of good points! I'm 38yo, curved bill, and boat shoes!
I was very unsure of the red and really just needed the push to keep them black. I already have a lot going on with the truck with the wheel powdercoat and bumpers. I should probably reel in the out goingness of the vehicle with black tow hooks.
I'll post of pic of them all nice and black with epoxy paint tomorrow! Thanks again guys and gals.
Wanted to chime in because when I received the tow hooks I ordered many years ago they were red. I then was on the phone with Master Pull ordering my straps and I asked the gentleman why they are red and he said in off-road competition circuits all recovery points are required to be red so the course marshals and recovery teams can find them quickly and get the vehicle recovered.
Recently I think it has become a fad.
