front bumper

I have a 1994 f150 4x2 with a grey bumper. I will be soon removing it to sand and repaint it due to rust. I plan to prime it and repaint it grey. my question is what kind of spary paint holds up well and isnt too expensive? Also, is there a airbag sensor or wiring anywhere in the accoridan shaped frame-front? ive looked under there today and there doesnt seem to be anything there though.

thanks

I've painted mine several times, and there doesn't seem to be a rattle can that will hold up on a front bumper by itself. You might try checking with your local paint supply house to see what they have for a clear spray on chip guard.
