Paint for bumpers

I've got a set of steel bumpers that I need to finish. They were originally chrome, but it was shot, and replating is insanely expensive, so I had them sandblasted. My thinking is etch prime and paint gloss black, so the question that remains is what paint. I'd really rather do it with rattle cans than have to break out the spray rig, so I'm considering either epoxy appliance paint or tractor paint. Opinions on which would be preferable, and suggestions for other products that might work, would be appreciated.

Since it isn't flexible, go for the hardest stuff you can... which I'm told is Enamel or Lacquer.  Urethane is fine, but it is more designed for flexibility.  I don't know how it compares in other durability.  Lacquer should have a clear coat.  It isn't very UV resistant.

That is NOT expert advice.  I'm just coughing up what others have told me.

I would use tractor paint, I haven't had great luck with the epoxy appliance paint in spray cans. 

I thought I had posted this already, but it ain't there. 

Try some of the chrome type powder coats.    

What are they going on?  For just looking good, +1 on tractor paint.  Have had good success on my Ferguson Tractor with it.

I've read about the chrome-look powder coats, and reviews seem to be mixed, both in terms of appearance and durability.

The bumpers are going on my 2002. It's yellow and has a black interior, black grills, a fair bit of black in the trim (it's a late car), and a black spoiler. It's not a perfect car by any means, nor does it look stock any more, so I think the black will work fine.

And if it doesn't, sand it down, and go to plan B.   I think you will be OK, with proper prep.

The newer ultrachromeish powder coats look awesome & are very durable.

If you use tractor paint stay far away from the brand that Tractor Supply now carries,  It's not really a tractor paint, isn't glossy and doesn't last.  Just ask my trailer.

If I had an established relationship with a local powdercoating guy I might investigate that option further, but not knowing who I'd be dealing with I'd rather not go down that road; things have been frustrating enough around here lately that I don't need to add a new layer to the pile. I'd rather just paint them myself and call it a day, at least for now. I can always have them powdercoated later on if I really feel the need.

Back to paints: since enamel looks like the simplest option, how do we feel about the Duplicolor line? Those are easily available. How about SEM? I can get them locally as well, just need to go a little further out of my way. Any other brand I'm missing?

I like the Krylon Rust Tough Enamel which they also sell under their industrial line.
