Bumper Paint

Any tips on how to paint it, precautionary steps, or what paint to use? Has anybody painted their own and be willing to share some pics?
Thanks

If you're talking about painting the chrome bumpers, you'll have to sand them pretty well so the paint will stick. I decided to have a pro do it. Here's a front and back view of both bumpers:

It would only be temporary until i can save enough for some new chrome. Has anybody ever used rhino liner on their bumper? I realize it wouldn't be shiny or anything but I think it might look kinda cool. Any thoughts? That red looks sweet though, nice ride.

just get out the DA, and sand the chrome bumper down real well...then hit it with some rust oleum primer, and then your topcoat...two coats of prime, two coats topcoat...
