However, you may be unhappy with the durability of a painted bumper. I've had 3 vehicles in my life where I painted the bumper, and it was a nightmare... rock chips just ate them up.
If you've seen my other thread on the bumper I'm doing now, I've decided to powdercoat. Now I'm just looking for a good color match, and if I don't find one, I may have to go chrome. But the chrome shops I've talked to so far are apparently trying to finance new jet boats with my wallet
