After staring far too long at paint-chipped bumpers and pitted flares, spent a weekend painting them to a better condition. I probably should have spent more time on the prep but time was running low in a borrowed garage.
Progress, not perfection.

Removed the bumpers and dealt with surface rust on a couple previously hidden components that never received the underbody treatment of last year. The flares were left on-body, playing cards as a backing. Sanded all, degreased, taped and wrapped the truck in plastic. Started with a plastic adhesion promoter, matte black krylon, and finished with a matte clear coat. 2-4 coats of each component.

Nice work!

 

I really gotta paint my fender flares. They're looking pretty terrible.
