I'm going to get the poison sounder bfh front and rear bumpers and didn't know if I should get them painted or powered coated. Which one would be cheaper or look betrer. If you have pics that would help

Depends. If your going to beat them up on rocks then rattle can them so it's easy to touch up. Powder coat is very strong and looks good but it will cost you more initially and it's near impossible to touch up. I PC'd my JCR Crusader.

Rattle can bedliner or brush on bedliner. If you don't plan on ever using them, though, then powdercoating is probably the way to go.
With bedliner, if you damage the finish, when you get home, you just redo that area. Works great!

If it is going to hit a rock, bed liner or paint.

I painted my bumper last summer. Winter driving really beat it up. Took it to Rhino Lining and now its ready for anything. My opinion, Rhino Lining all the way for a front bumper.

DIY with a Raptor liner kit $128. I used 2 of the 4 included bottles in the kit. With 2 bottles I coated my PSC bumper, grille and winch fairlead bracket. If I ever get a scratch, it's easy to mix a small 1 ounce batch for touch ups.

Looks good what did you tell them you wanted when you got it done as far as color an all. Is there different colors of black can you get it shine black what's the difference between paint and powder coat thanks
