Will this bracket work with an aftermarket front bumper cover?

This bracket is designed around OEM bumper geometry. Test-fit your aftermarket cover first — some designs may require minor bracket adjustment or shimming to seat properly.

Do I need to prep or paint this bracket before installation?

The bracket arrives ready to bolt on. Paint it if you want the underside finished, but it's not required for function — most bolt behind the cover where it won't be visible.

What fasteners do I need to install this?

Mounting method and hardware specs aren't detailed here — reference your vehicle's service manual or test-fit the bracket to your frame to confirm bolt size and torque specs.
