If your going to do either make sure to laquer it as mud, scraths, salt etc etc with start to corrode it and the shinny or black finish will be no more.

Personally i go for the silver look, but black would be something different.

I would weld it as a good knock will shear the heads off rivets, and as for painting or blasting I would,nt bother with either, you should see the stone thrashed staight of mine and i,ve not done off roading with it!
