Bedliner spray or herculiner, if you thin it you can spray it through a paint gun. I've even added white to make a dark grey. Cheap and easy. Holds up well too.

That's what I use. It's like $6 a can at Home Depot and works well with a self etching primer.

$6 a can is better than $160 for powder coat. Thanks.

I'm curious about your usage Tachyon.
Really it's all in the prep work. Sand them down thoroughly, wipe with dry rag, use mineral spirits and clean rage, one more time with clean dry rag after mineral spirits, 2 thin coats self etching primer, then multiple thin coats of a good quality paint or bed liner and it'll come out just as good or better than paying the pros to do it!

That's what I did. I sanded weld spatter, wiped with paint prep, primed (which is holding on well, the used the bedliner. The bedliner is more of a rubber coating than a paint coating. It peels easily, and the primer has rusted through in patchy areas. Of course I live in the rust belt...which doesn't help.
My front bumper was primed and painted flat black instead of bedliner - not a spec of rust or chipping (aside from my shacklesp tabs, which are bare from use).
I'll have to snap some pics for you.

My guess is that the paint is either garbage brand, or a bad batch. The fact that the regular paint is holding up well in the same condition emphasizes that. That sucks, I'd be ticked if I spent a ton of time in prep and it was all for nothing.
