Best Paint for Bumper?

I'm looking to paint my front and rear bumpers on my 1997 f-150. The stock bumpers came as a dull gray color and since the truck is a few years old, the bumpers only get so clean and they almost look like they are constantly dirty. What is the best kind of paint to use for this kind of job. I will eventually get a new paintjob on my whole truck, but for now, I want to colormatch the whole thing.

The best stuff to have put on your bumpers is Rino Bed Liner (professionaly done stuff not the spray can stuff) You will have to take them off your truck and not have bumpers for a week or so get them sand blasted then have them rino coated (anywhere that does beds will probaly do them it costed my dad $100 a bumper for the coating on his 99 Powerstroke F-250 the reason he had it done because he drives about 60 miles on the highway a day and the paint kept falling off every couple months (repainted by the ford dealer a couple of times but they did a shotty job each time) and now he never has to worry about his bumpers rusting again and it looks realy cool also.
