Talking New rear bumper!!

So I was at a flea market and found a guy that had a trailer full of bumpers and he had one for my truck, and since mine was f'ed up I offered him $25 and he said ok so I walked away with it before he changed his mind.

Here's a couple pics of the bumper before..




And so I didnt want to just put a chrome bumper back on so I bought a couple cans of spray can bedliner and put that on the bumper, and the hitch while I was at it, then sprayed the top pieces of the bumper and that plastic piece behind the license plate black. Came out very well for being a cheep little job. So here it is..



Only thing is its still crooked cause I think the bumper brackets are bent from when I bashed the other bumper, but whatever no big dent and it looks 1000x better I think. Let me know what you all think! thanks.

That looks loads better then it did, good call with the bedliner also! Did you line the backside of it also? That will keep rust away.
