Default Rhino sprayed fenders and bumpers

I saw a JKU today that has the stock fenders and bumpers sprayed with rhino liner or similar. I liked the look and was wondering if anyone else has done this? And if so did you do it yourself or take it to a shop?

I did one of my Cherokees with rattle can bed liner from wal Mart. Goes on well and very durable. Trail tested

That does look good. I definitely like the fenders sprayed but I have a chrome tube front bumper and chrome step bars that were on when I bought the jeep. Will the spray do good on those or should they be scuffed up with something before.

Mine came painted to match, which I wasn't real crazy about so I sprayed them with that duplicolor Bed liner they sell at advanced auto. Also did my grill. Once you start spraying its hard to stop.

80 grit should do the trick for both the key is not to over do it

And if you want it to look as good as possible spray the whole area with a good coat of the Bed liner and then back off a little ways and do quick swipes at it almost like a mist it's called dusting or texturing it will make the area gritty instead of smooth rubber
