My local Walmart had their unfinished Ozark Trail tungsten bullet weights on sale for $2.50 a pack. I grabbed a bunch. 
I work for a powder coating company so I had them powder coated in Flat Black (10% gloss).

 

What colors do you prefer?

 

Do you like it glossy, flat or somewhere in between?

 

Are there any colors that are not available or common that you think would add something positive to the presentation?

 

I pretty much can make them any color, even sparkles. 

Similar color as the soft plastics being used.

I don’t think It matters at all. 

I have black tungsten and the normal cheap lead.  I pay more attention to shape and never even consider color.

I've tried glow in the dark. Never got a bite but looked pretty cool. I've tried roughly matching color of worm. Didn't seem to make any difference. I use black generally, but I think unfinished is fine. I don't like the really shiny ones, but who knows. I wouldn't waste much effort on it. On the other hand, I don't think you can scare the fish with the colors, except for glow in the dark.

Black goes with everything. Don't sweat it. 

I like black weights. Dull or glossy finish, don’t really matter to me. 
 

I tried red weights for a while, and I swear that somehow I was catching less fish. Doesn’t really make sense to me

I have tried all colors of weights and my experience was been the same.  Dark or natural weights seem to work the best.  Brightly colored weights and/or line doesn't work as well for me.

Only reason I could imagine going bright is to use a white one, pegged, with black or white bait. Sort of a broken back Rapala effect, underwater.

Before painting tungsten weights were shiny silver colored & lead weights after several fish became shiny from teeth marks. Neither effected the bite even at night.

I know this is a completely different situation, but there's some validity to that. By far my most productive jighead color is chartreuse. I've got PBs in three species with a chartreuse jig head on using different plastics behind it. 

I was wade fishing for smallies once, not catching anything. I ran out of lead bullet weights , I switched to brass. I started catching fish. Not that it works all the time.

I like to match my bullet to the color of the bait, but I don’t sweat it too much. I don’t think it affects much besides confidence. 

Most of the time I fish an unpainted weight the way it comes from the store.  If I want to change the color then I use a Sharpie and make it black.

I order them in bulk and only 1/8 in GP and June bug.......yeah I'm funny like that.

I gave up trying to match.  I've settled on black no chip matte tungsten and not looked back.  

I really like the matte and flat black finfishes that never chip.  There are times where I will use red or orange ones, but IMO color matters not the vast majority of time.

Black is slimming.  I use black. 

I like flat vs shiny better, but I have no real reason for that, I just think it looks more natural.
