Painting my chrome bumper black?

I have a 2005 ford ranger XLT the bumper in the front is chrome and there's a chrome piece in the back as well. I used "rust-oleum bumper paint" to paint the trim of the truck and it is really really good and a nice deep black. I want the same thing on the chrome. Can you walk me through the steps of what id need to get to do it? I want it a similar color to my truck ( glossy black ) i'm blacking the truck out.

Clean it well, spray with METAL PRIMER (Red) and top coat with any quality Gloss Black. You shouldn't have to etch the chrome.

  • Should i use primer when painting a gray bumper trim? I recently bough "rust-oleum trim and bumper paint" to paint the trim on my bumper. The trik on my bumper is like a dull gray color. Should I use black primer on it or should i just spray the pain on? I heard it peels without the primer and i want a dee black look to match my truck. (2005 ford ranger xlt)
  • Matte Black vs Gloss Black Vinyl stripes? So I have a Ingot Silver 2014 Ford Mustang and was wondering what stripes would look the best on it. I heard that gloss shows every little imperfection (scratches) while with matte black, you can't wax them. I'm leaning more on matte black just because I know that seeing the little scratches on the gloss black over time will really irritate me.
  • Cost of painting a bumper on a 2003 Mustang? I've got a 2003 Ford Mustang with a busted up front bumper cover. I can get a new cover for about $100, but I want to know what it might cost to paint it? I know the paint I need is pretty expensive, it's the "Redfire" paint
  • Ford Focus 2014 chrome piece missing? I have a Ford focus 2014 And that little chrome piece on my vent went missing on my other vent. What is that chrome piece called and where can I get another one?
