Default PSC Bumper how to paint?

What type of spray paint would give it the best appearance? Any photos of those who sprayed their bumper? Still debating what should be done for such

It's not really the can, but the finger behind it that's going to make the difference. There's etch, prime, and paint to do. How evenly you can apply everything is going to make the difference between Mona Lisa and monkey ass. So, you can invest several hours to try and get it right...fail and hate it, or save the headache and get it PC'ed for a couple hundo.

I painted my brawler with self etching primer, and then a few coats of bedliner. Turned out great!
Make sure u use a scotch Brite pad and scuff up the raw metal before using the primer. I used 1 can primer and I think 6 cans bedliner.
The app flipped the pic.

Yep.
Sand/scuff
Then prep solvent (alcohol).
Self etching primer (2 coats)
Build-up primer (2 coats)
Smooth with 600 then prep solvent to clean
Paint 3 light coats
Clearcoat 3 light coats
Buff and buff and buff and buff

I did a two tone black/red so it took a long time but very pleased with the result.
