Default before and after rear bumper

so i was gonna switch my chrome rear bumper with a black bumper so i went out and bought one off craigslist for $100 and it was beat up but i didnt care b/c i was gonna paint it anyway.so after a couple weeks of trying to find time and have warm enough weather to paint it outside i finally did it and it came out pretty good. but after all that work i ended up buying a roll pan which is now being powder coated,lol but anyway i thought u may want to see some pics b/c i painted it with bedliner paint.

so i sanded it down after removing all the plastic parts,then degreased it with simple green,primed it with the self etching primer (2 coats) then sprayed the whole thing with 2 coats of a rubberized underbody paint which should help it prevent rust,then painted it with a walmart brand bedliner spray paint (2coats) followed by sanding it lightly then 1 more coat of paint.i slapped the plastic parts back on and armoralled them,now its done. the bumper isnt perfect as it had some bumps on one side but its 100x better than it was.
