yes, def go with urethane. and make sure they put a flex agent in the paint so the paint will flex with the bumpers and not just flake off.

flex agent is old school - new paints dont require that... the best adivce is not primer on good parts... just sand em smooth with 1000 grit or so, hit it with adhension promoter - spray it with color, clear it - 3 coats - then let it dry... sand the clear with 1000 grit (lightly) re-adhension promote it and spray it again with 2 coats of thick clear.... = the most amazing look paint possible
