Looks great - the effect I want. I will do mine in a few weeks and am researching best methods right now. What method / paint type did you use? Why so? Lots of conflicting information out there and lots of bumpers out there that are easily scratched.

i used Rust Oleum, the first bumper i painted with the brush, then the second bumber i used one roller and one spong for touch up....i cleaned all the bumbers with "awesone" i use this cleaner for all cleaning...you get it in the dollar store..will try to find pictures from before, lol

Thanks. I have seen photos of roller / sponge bumper painting and it really works out well.

I've also used RustOleum Flat\Semi Black OilPaint on plasic Bumpers with good results;
works best if you make sure the surface is prep'd clean+dry,
use a 1 or 2" brush to stiple it on for a nice texture; brush strokes don't seem to look as good or adher as well.
First coat, let that cure for a week, then a second coat.

quite a while back a member did a step by step breakdown of doing trim and bumpers with the products used, i have it saved but not good with attaching files, his profile was Tom R and it was in april 2018 i will try and post it, it was a great post.
