Default Paint rear bumper recommendation

I was lucky recently to find a rear bumper with the metal lower tail light guards. Bad news is it is faded.

Any recommendations for paint type. Brand and specific type. I'm wanting to go cheap with a rattle can.

Thanks,

I hit up mine with a black rattle can of Platsidip from Walmart, it has kind of a rubbery feel and a very subtle texture, I think it looks great on a plastic bumper cover. I did that for my replacement front bumper as well, 6 months in and so far I'm fairly impressed with it's durability. The trick is to do lots of light coats.

Perhaps try bedliner paint if you don't mind something with a bit of texture to it.

I like the Dupli-color bedliner. Some texture, but not sharp edged so you can still run a sponge across it to wash.
