Post this in the 3rd gen forum...Good luck on painting the chrome bumper, front will be ok, its plastic, just the rear one might chip the paint.

prep it urself it should be fairly cheap.. i scuffed my bumpers really ROUGHLY with RED Scotch Brite ( you can get it at almost any auto parts store ) i scuffed my bumper untill it was roughed up.. then i sprayed about 3-4 coats of self etching primer.. ive had the bumpers on for about 4 months now and i live in a rocky suberb and havent even had as much as a rock chip.. just take ur time prep is key... ORRR go with a bead blasting!
