Default Bedlined Bestop Highrock Narrow Bumper?

I'm considering the Bestop Highrock Narrow Bumper but I'm not a big fan of the gloss black finish. Has anyone bedlined the bumper? Would love to see some pics if anyone has. Thanks!

I have the bumper, but not Bedlined... sure it would look good if it was done well. Not sure if you'd have to sand it down first so the Bedliner adhears properly. Not a painting pro, but that's normally a prerequisite for painting or coating.

Who nows, maybe after a couple beers I'll end up trying it...

Thanks for the reply. Would love to see pics of the bumper non-painted too. Let me know if you do end up having those beers and painting it.

What he said! Pics please. Did you sand it down and primer it first? How's it holding up?

I didn't sand it or anything I was so excited I just wanted it on asap! (Don't advise) but it worked great its held up perfect except for the plastic part by the fog lamps a few rocks managed to chip that slightly. I also missed a few spots but I need to redo my winch so when I do that I am going to redo it and do it right... I will get a better picture after work tonight

Were you able to get any new pics? Would love to see some up close and clearer shots of the finished product. Thanks.
