: Repainting the bumpers and trim options

Okay, now that I've painted my stock rims black I love how they look. The problem is my bumpers were done with herculiner spray and now need touched up but I can't find the same spray I used before. I have the roller and can but that won't cover everything, will be a pain I think with the bumpers and I was saving it for the sides. Here are my options:

-Go over the bumpers and trim with the same color and brand I did the rims with and either do/don't with Herculing the sides.

-Use the roll on Herculiner and go along the sides of the X and go over the bumpers with Duplicolor spray bedliner (freakin $8.50 a can).

Or some other variation that isn't clear to me right now. What do you guys think? Any other options to me are welcomed. I have tomorrow off work and want to take care of what I can while I have time.

use the duplicolor spray on bed liner... since you already herc-ed the bumpers once

i am personally using krylon fusion products but I am stuck between gloss black and satin black.. my wheels are gloss black so it makes me want to do gloss black, but at the same time I want it to look like trim and not a two tone paint job (if that makes since)

Looks good Hines!

Noish, I'm thinking go with the liner in a can for the bumpers or satin black Krylon Fusion. I'm happy with the outcome of my bumpers and I used the Fusion on them.

I just did my plastics not to long ago and i used this stuff made by SEM its called trim black, its what body shops use to paint trim when some one is in a wreck. It costs 11 dollars a can but they are big cans. also there is this other stuff called plast-i-stic i believe and you just dust the plastics with it before you paint them and it works great. this paint flexes. the guy who told me about it painted a piece of plastic, then when it was dry bent it in half and the paint didnt chip or crack its really cool.

well I have an 01, what should I use for the metal bumper along with the krylon for the plastic? Can i use the krylon for plastic on the metal? The can says I can use it for metal, wood...etc but I just want to make sure.
