it comes in a rattlecan... i used it to change the color of my front lower valance and rear step from factory gray to black. i didnt have to retouch it once in the 5 or 6 months that i had the bumpers on... i've since gotten new colormatched bumpers. it doesnt chip or peel AT ALL. you can scuff it if you try hard enough though.
they also have a couple different gray colors, if you want to just renew your existing plastic. sticking with gray might be good, just because if it does scuff, you wont even notice since the bumper color is gray too.

the SEM stuff is good. PN 39103 for the 'original' flexible bumper coater. if you want the Trim Paint, that works well too. PN 39143 and its a satin black finish. the '3' at the end of the PN denotes a spray can so clean it up and spray away. they make it a ton of colors too, some of them are meant to match certain oem finishes and others are just universal colors.
