    What has everyone done to finish their all pro rear bumpers? Paint, liner coating, powdercoating? Or maybe something I haven't thought of yet?

    I'm having trouble finding someone to do powdercoating for a good price and/or decent turnaround time.

    Any suggestions?

    I used rustoleum bed liner in spray cans. Nice matte black textured finish. And if I scratch it up, it costs about $6 a can to fix.

    I painted my first all pro bumper. Had the second one powder coated. Powder was much more durable and didn't show branch scratches like spray painted one did. Also looked better IMO. Powder for me on future bumpers.

    I paint my rear bumper because it drags over rocks and obstacles all the time. I figured it never gets bad rock chips so paint should hold up good. I've been happy so far after years.

    The front on the otherhand I'm getting powdercoated. So many rock chips on it. Paint just can't handle the rocks.

    Arb front bumper, warn winch, All Pro rear bumper, OME up front, OME and All Pro Standard in Back, ARB locker, 34 x 10.5 KO2's, 17" Level 8 Trackers, and fancy single piece driveshaft.
    The prior owner of my truck painted the rear bumper. It's now starting to flake off and I can see the rust starting. Whatever you do, the prep before the final coat is important to keep it from rusting.
