Rockguard/Bedliner Bumpers?

Hey, does anyone know of anybody that has coated their bumpers with rockguard/bedliner? I am wondering because I bought my truck used, and it has chrome bumpers and the silver trim at the bottom, and I am not much of a fan of chrome, so i was wondering if it would look good to rockguard the bumpers and the silver trim at the bottom. I know I can get the bumpers blasted and powdercoated, but I have no idea what to do with the silver trim. I was looking to go with more of a body-color and black theme with my truck, but the silver has me stumped. Any ideas on what I could do would be aprreciated. Heres my truck:

I had the useless powdercoat taken off mine and replaced it with Line-X XTRA. If it wouldn't look like crap, I'd Line-X the whole truck. I do plan on getting the gray side stripe done in gray Line-X and the fender flares and rear bumper as well.

Before:


After:


Line-X wins over everything, in my opinion. It's taken abuse in my bed (minds out of the gutter ) and I didn't get a scratch on my bumper when a car cut me off and slammed on its brakes.

Ya, I was thinking of maybe doing the strip in Line-X as well, but I don't know what would look good with a bright red truck. It seems like it would work better on a black truck like yours. Nice truck btw, thats a sweet bumper!

Thank you sir!

I continue to debate over what I should Line-X. I have no aesthetic vision so I'm not sure what would look good or bad.

I painted all my home made bumpers with a DIY bedliner. Much better than just regular paint, but nothing compared to the professional stuff.
