Heres the strip I'm talking about and it would match my front end and the bottom strip. But thinking it may be overdone

Not the same style but regardless, four coats of plasti dip, three coats of Krylon Fusion gloss, three coats of clear. Looks like a paint job but you can still peel it

This is directly at the op

I painted the bumpers on my 99 with rustolium primer, gloss black, and clear coat

The front bumpers was primed and the rear bumper was chrome but they worked out about the same, sanded them both down pretty good, 6 coats of primer, 4 coats of color, and another 6 coats of clear

The rear bumper is now chipping around the hole you use to drop the spare and the clear coat is chipping on the front bumper
