Rustoleum flat black. RE paint my bumper about twice a year since it will fade a little bit. I've hit it on trees, rocks, and the sides of wash outs, come home and prep and paint it again.

I use the Rustoleum 2X primer with a Rustoleum satin black. It doesnt get all blotchy when it gets wet and or dirty.

Rustolium black spary on bedliner. Works great looks good and easy touch up.

Dumber than having to repaint every six months?

Zero rust. Used it on my wheels and bumper, has held up like a champ. That is with living on the cost and wheeling at the beach.

I have tried the hammered black on my bumpers. Next to the end caps that are painted with Rusto bumper/trim black paint it looked like a very dark gunmetal gray. I didn't like it so I just used the same paint as the caps. On a positive note the hammered paint went on nicely and looked good otherwise.

That **** would peel off every time I went wheeling. To each their own I suppose.

I like the rusto Hammered stuff, I painted my old front axle with it and it seemed to hold up well. That or rusto satin enamel, pretty tough provided you prep well and apply a good primer, I use self etching primer on bare metal..

I HATE krylon gloss paint..... chips very easy and I have run into some issues with application. (aside from the camo colors, I painted my whole jeep tan with that stuff.)

If money is no problem get it powder coated.

Powder coat is harder to patch just FYI
