Painting Bumpers: PTM or Bedliner?

I have a white truck, and I plan on painting my bumpers, and probably the lower valance in the front. Is the consensus on here to use bedliner? It's a work truck (though I don't use it for work), so there's no chrome. Just the gray. I'm also gonna paint my wheels black. So with that in mind, PTM the bumpers white, or bedliner?

White unless you plan on running black wheels.

On the front bumper paint the bumper pad white, bedline the chrome part, the valance white. For the rear paint the bumper white, and bedline the bumper pad.

I don't have any chrome on by bumpers. They're just all gray

Bedline the bumpers then paint your pads and valance with krylon fusion Satin black or white.

Well crap. This was not as unanimous as I had expected. I think I'm just as indecisive as I was before. haha

Your best bet would be to mess around with photoshop and see which one you like the best.
