Ok guys/gals, should I paint or let nature do its thing. Mr Bear will be taking aims @ 70 yds. Thanks in advance.
New target, need opinions......

Paint the whole thing white but, the inner target plate, paint that bit black.
It will help to keep rust away and, it'll make it easier to target at longer ranges

Nice target. Tough call.
Just a suggestion, if you paint it, don't paint the kill zone a different color.
Toughest thing about black bear hunting is finding the sweet spot with crosshairs on a black background.
Enjoy your new target.

I would paint it black with the center red. I lose my iron sights and iron sights in the black center. Your eyes may be better.

I kinda' think either a white or tan body with a neon orange kill zone might work. And protect it from the elements for longer enjoyment.

My daughter would paint it bright pink with a purple kill zone 
Give it to your kids or grandkids to paint and let them have fun with it.

I paint my targets almost every day. Like to a start fresh. And much easier to see your shots. Crow

Some 
are kind of rust color. Just paint the target for contrast. Keep any moving parts lubed with water resistant grease.
Good looking target. Is the dot reactive?

Nice looking target! As others have already suggested, I’d hit it with some paint if for no other reason than to protect it from rusting.
Is that “eyehole’ big enough to let a pellet pass through? I’m thinking a hot-glued-in-place paintball on the back side of that hole for added entertainment?!
