Paint came from automotivetouchup.com. I also considered paintscratch.com.

I also did the bumper on my pickup truck with less than stellar results. Not sure what went wrong, but the finish turned out matte, not gloss.
Good luck with your project.
Your bumps turned out fantastic.

If you want your truck bumper to shine, try wet sanding with 2000 grit paper wrapped around a sponge. Then rotary polish with 3M 5973 rubbing compound, polish then wax.
