Go to Home Depot (or some hardware store) and get yourself a paint roller. You wont see any strokes. Its also advised that you DONT paint it on since stroking just pushes the suspended rubberized particles. You want that stuff to just be laid on.

Just be sure that as you're painting to keep stirring your paint paint because the particles do like to settle. This is how i did the flares on my truck as well as the bed.

A pint will run you about 35 bucks. That should be more than enough to cover your bull bar as the same amount covered all four of my flares with 3 coats (2 recommended).

herculiner is like $100 a gallon for black, around $130 for red, blue or grey, i think they say it takes a gallon and a pint for an 8ft bed so one gallon ought to work for a brushguard (i dont know how big it is, could take less), and the roller it comes with is like a sponge roller, with holes and dimples and such, the paint has like little chunks of rubber or something it and if you just brush it on it will be smooth and wont have the rough bedliner texture, you can use a brush in tight areas but its best to dab it up and down not brush it on, other than that like i said, scuff, stir, and roll on that simple, and well of course you wanna clean it real well after scuffing like you would with any paint, we did the whole cab of my buddies truck in it last summer

Right... exactly what i said. Except dont waste your money on a gallon. Buy a pint. Once you open the can you have to use it all. It doesnt keep. A pint is more than enough.
