Cool Bedlining the stock front bumper?

I was thinking about bedlining my front bumper cuz it has all rock chips in it now and ruins the look of the front end, I was wondering if anyone else did it and how it looks and if they could upload a pic so i get an idea of what it looks like

I did it on my son-in-law's XJ, I used RustOleum bedliner spray and a light coat of primer after scuffing the bumpers with 320 grit sand paper. It turned out really nice and gave the bumpers a nice texture. I also did the fender flares and lower doors, fenders, and rockers.

Had a fender bender and waiting to build a bumper. In he meantime, pounded out the stock bumper and painted it with Harbor Freight bedliner. It looks great.

I considered bedliner.

Then I asked around a bit, heard some opinions, and decided against it.

From what I saw and heard its really tough to get it clean.

And for $2 I can have a can to fix damage from ANY Walmart, I dont have to seek out specialty materials.

U-Pol Raptor 2 part liner won't fade and has held up for 3+ years on my rockers with no ill affects.
