PTM Bumpers - glossy?

So we all know im blacking out the rab. I could get the bumpers powder coated through a place that deals with the ol' mans shop he works at. But still would be a pretty decent chunk of cash im thinkin.

I've seen everyone bedliner theier bumpers/rockers then ptm over that. But im lookin for a smooth paint-like finish. (As a side note, the rear bumper is starting on some surface rust, it doesnt seem too bad yet.) How abouts would i go to achieve this? I know prep is key in this aswell and will effect it greatly.

bedliner ftw!

 

IMO the gloss would make it look kinda like a XL since they had painted ones...bedliner will make it look rugged and a lot more durable

 

Bedliner ftw

 

You can do the bedliner and clear over it to give it a sheen if you want.....

 

Ah didnt know if clear on it would make a huge difference with it. I'll have to make some time to do this now

 

sand down the chrome with a heavy grit sand paper, spray bedliner, then your ptm, the lots of clear

 

Didnt west use self etching primer too in there somewhere? Or was that something else he/someone done?

 

well if it works do it lol

 

i personally like the glossy
