PTM- paint to match

Has anyone ever painted their chrome bumpers to match body color? I have a dark torador red flareside and i want to PTM the front and rear bumpers. Any input would be great, thanks.

Sanded starting with 100 grit then 200 next 500 lastly wet sanded with 1000. Then 3-4 coats of paint and a.few coats of clear and its holding up great no flaking or chipping.

How much did it all end up costing? Im trying to decide between this method or buying a roll pan and a different front bumper..
