    A lot of people on here use Plasti Dip to paint their bumpers, if you do it well (carefully) it can look really good. It's rubberized paint so it's easy to remove if you change your mind or need to re-do it.

    Nope they are custom previous owner had them made that all I know about them. Im assuming
    they are steel because of what the rust looks like.

    Take bumper off and flap disc all the old paint/rust off.

    Preferably youd have it powdercoated but bedliner works great aswell.

    Could also just give it a good prime and use a quality rattle can paint. That will make for easy touch ups
