I have an after market bumper on my Jeep. It needs some touch up around the bolt holes. What is the best paint to use to try and match the black powder coating already on it. Do they make a black spray powder coating?

Honestly your best bet is to take it off and have it sandblasted and re-powdercoted.
Unless you want to just rattle can the whole thing, you'll be able to do a decent job and I would use some kind of textured or wrinkle black, those would be closest to what you already have on there.

I'm going to be redoing the bumpers on Lucy this spring/summer. Theres a few chips that have started to rust, one just broke through, rust wise, end of summer. I sealed it up real good before it rained/crappy weather got here. I'm planning on grinding back rust, sanding the chips, some weld to fix the one that actually went through, etc. Then I was gonna do roll on bed liner on the whole bumper.
Just use a satin black rattle-can (aerosol) paint from Krylon or Rustoleum, it matches well enough for 99% of us... me included.

I work for a place that powder coats. I redid mine twice before just rattle canning it. Powder coating is overrated LOL.
It is and it is touched up with nothing more than an aerosol satin-black rattle can paint very easily. Powder coating is nothing but another form of paint.
How much does it cost to have a bumper powdered coated? Disregard the question. I called around and basically $300 to $350. Cheaper to buy a new bumper.

I was thinking about using this product. Thoughts?

Rust left in place will continue to attack the steel, sand it down to bare metal first.
Well this is antidotal I know but when I mounted my front bumper I chose to grind (think more of sanding) off the dross and surface rust using a 10 dollar air angle grinder from HF. Once satisfied I laid down a coat of VHT Rust converter (SP229). This gave me a solid base for the final coat but it more importantly converted any iron oxide (rust) missed into iron tannate chemically. The resulting surface is black and very rough. This served as a solid base for Dupli-Color Bed Coating (BAA2010) it took 2 16 oz cans to do my bumper in 2 coats. It's been two years and there is not one sign of wear or peeling. I could not be happier with the result. What ever you decide put 80% of your effort in prep 15% in the finish saving the last five for beer and grins.
