What is the best paint for coating my newly made bumpers. I was looking at the duplicolor truck liner that comes in a spray can. I dont have the money for powdercoating.

I would go with the duplicolor bed liner spray. It's good stuff, just prep properly. I used rustoleum and painted mine front and back gloss black, black looks good on white trucks:icon_thumby:

Chassis Saver is much more durable than that duplicolor liner. Its really tough crap, you can brush it on or spray it (if you spray it you need a gun with a large tip, 2.0 or larger, or a schutz gun).

I've seen the stuff that comes in a spray can... While it wasn't the Duplicolor stuff, it was pretty crappy. It seemed like spray paint with sand in it, and about as durable. That said, touch ups are a breeze.
