Only if it has a shitty paint job. I had the black plastic around my mirrors color matched 4yrs ago and not 1 chip at all in the mirrors.

I also painted my stock bumper before I installed a roll pan and the paint on that held up great. I was cautious especially when take stuff in and out of the trunk but it held up without a problem.

I wouldn't color match the chrome part of the bumper. Might be too much of color match and not that good mix of color match and chrome. Just my opinion though

i wouldnt do the whole bumper. just do the upper and lower plastics. to much white looks cheap to me. every other color looks good all matched except white.
