I used the spray on bedliner for my bumber caps, flares, and trim. It worked great and looks great. I did it a about a year and a half ago and the only problem with it is on the fender flares. The bedliner has chipped off where the front tires threw rocks at the rear flares.
... pure beauty.What exactly did you use? And what did you do for prep?

The total cost for me was about $35 dollars, I split the cost between me and a friend, A quart of this stuff is $35 bucks isnt worth it so we split the cost.
It was $70 dollars off of amazon for the gallon kit and it took 2 weeks to arrive at my door step in California from Pennsylvania.
What was included
-Duplicolar Bed armor 1 gallon
-A Brush and roller
-The paint pan
-One scuff pad
Extras Supplies Recommended
-I purchased two extra Scuff pads for $3 dollars at lows
-Duplicolor Adhesion promoter from Orielly for about $6 bucks

Steps For preping
1) Thoroughly Scuff flares with Scuff padsa be sure to scrub a bit harder for faded bumper end caps.
2) Wash with a dish soap or a wax free car soap and dry.
3) Lastly before beginning coats spray Adhesion promoter.

What the Bed armor looks like
I recommend throughly shaking the cannister before opening for best Kevlar blend, This is before shaking i do not have an after.

This is after about 2 coats without the roller. I didn't use the roller until I did my lower doors, USE THE ROLLER FOR BETTER RESULTS!!!

After applying the bed liner to preferred thickness allow to dry for at least for for 1 day in the sun or 2 days in a garage. If you don't do this it may not be fully dried, I let mine dry for 2 days in the sun and garage.

The finished product

I think someone tried to do this to mine before I got it, but they did it with a gray version... From washing it, the pain came off of the flares and the bumpers. I think it may have even been the dealer to make it look better for sale..
I sanded it off, we primed them with .96 cent wal-mart paint and then put Krylon satin over top of it. It looked better to me at least.

The way it looks on the front bumper where it has rusted.... basically inbetween the paint spots or whatever it is... you can see rust starting to come through. I'm gonna paint the front bumper and side pieces satin black to match the flares. I hope it works out, but if it doesnt.. i found a new bumper for 35 for anyways.
