Default Ever Paint Your Bumper? I Did

I love it. It's matte black krylon, with six coats. We'll see how well it holds up

Judging by the second pic, you need at least a major alignment. Possibly new ball joints.

The bumper looks good, though.

Oh god I didn't even notice that XD don't worry I just had her aligned. The angle of the picture messed with that. I promise the tire and the bearings are fine lol

That's actually what I had, but the damn thing had been so chipped and scratched that it was time to make it look better

Was it Krylon enamel?

One thing I've found is that spray paint just does not hold up very well, especially when exposed to UV. Most likely it will fade pretty bad in a few months. Flat/matte spray paints seem to fade very easily whereas gloss paints hold up longer.

I'm at school right now so I'm not sure of the specifics on the can. It's rust-beater and something else lol I'll get back to you on that

I'll get some pics of mine later but I painted mine about three years ago with rustolem black gloss. Then I clear coated it. It still looks brand new.

I used the same paint on my black mailbox and after 8 months it looks terrible again.
