you could get the rear bumper powder coated, but either way it looks good

Looks good man. Painted surround much better, XLT much! better, but you must paint the chrome caps. Leave the rest of the mirrors black though, I hate when people paint the entire mirror assembly. When you do that, paint your door handles & gate handle.

Try some epoxy resin with fiberglass matting.
