Re: Bumper Paint
Is it chrome right now? If so, clean it up really good, lightly scuff it and hit it with a good adhesion promoter. Then prime with a non self-etching and paint.

Re: Bumper Paint
I painted my white bumper with Krylon. Cleaned it up real good, sanded it some, primed it a put about three good coats on it. Can't get much cheaper that that. That was a year and half ago and it still looks good. No flaking or peeling.
