The back has held up for 2 years now, without any touch ups. I do go over it every summer with the black UV protector as maintenance but that's it.
That's how the taillights are done as well, same concept.

Actually its the Hericuliner. Front and back bumper. After I did the front, I went over it with automotive paint that matches the rest of the truck. (Re-did the front this summer, the last paint scheme did hold up to the rocks on the road) The back has held up for 2 years now, without any touch ups.

Isn't the liner a rough surface though? Like it's not nice and smooth? Your front bumper looks smooth from what I can see. I want to paint mine but I might just do it all black but I would like to liner it then paint it black on top of the liner just so it's more durable when it comes to the paint chipping

My back bumper has been done for 2 years now, no chips yet. I apply this every summer though over it. Brings back the black shine.
If you apply the liner right, there should be no reason to worry about chips, or having to paint over it with automotive paint. I only painted it red because as far as I know, I can't find red herculiner.
Before you do the liner, you got to prep the bumper properly, mine where chrome, so I had to take the time to sand, and applied etching primer before I did the liner.
Message me and I'll share my tips with the herculiner. I've spent the last couple years applying it to various vehicles, and materials, I've gotten a few things figured out.

They look smooth in pictures, but both of the bumpers are rough. The red shows the roughness more then the black bumper.

I wish I took more pictures when I did this, I got another dodge that I'll be doing the back bumper on this spring. I'll make sure to do a write up with pictures.
