So I just ordered a stock front bumper for my pioneer 700. My old one got really bent. The one I ordered needs to be painted. Would you guys suggest just to spray paint, plasti dip or something else?

Spray paint. It’s easy to touch up.

Sorry Sheriff I didn’t even notice it was a first time poster.

If it was mine I’d have it powder coated. Probably something besides standard black

Powder coated - Very professional looking and most expensive
Plastic coated - Good if done right
Spray paint - Watch out for the runs if you apply to heavy
Brush - Can't beat brush marks for a real DIY project 🤣

BTW - Welcome from Alabama, and don't forget to post pictures.

Welcome from Mississippi. I would have it powder coated, it would be a lot more durable.

You could use a 2 part automotive style paint and brush it on. More expensive than spray paint but probably cheaper than powdercoat. More durable than spray paint and i think just as durable as powdercoat. I used some on a cargo basket I made and it's held up really well. I sprayed on a self etching primer before the paint.
If you go with spray paint I like the rust oleum professional high performance enamel. I'd still use the self etching primer first.

Use the tractor implement paint from a local farm store.
Will hold up forever.

Absolutely on raw metal but not over an existing painted surface. It has an acid in it that is supposed to cut into the metal for the bond. It can react over other paints and primers and cause it to fail.
