Default what do all you guys paint your chrome bumpers with to get them black

i have a two toned 97 f150
maroon is its primary color and black is the bottom half lol
well i went out and bought a new grill bc my other one cracked
the new grill is black but it looks out of place with the chrome bumper and i want to paint the front and back bumpers black
what would be a good thing to paint with thatll make it look good and shiny
im new to the truck world as this if my first one so im finally starting to get around to doing stuff
thanks

Try Plati-Dip, very easy to apply. It is flat black but you can clear coat it if you please, Very little prep unlike real painting.

I would say Plasti-dip is ur best bet. It's easy to use clean and dry prep and ya can always clear coat it if ya like it and peel it off if ya don't.
