I'm considering painting the black rubber on my front and back bumpers. Here's what I'm thinking...
1. Clean (with rubbing alcohol as recommended by the paint store guy, he sells paint supplies for a living, but recommended the rubbing alcohol) 2. Scuff 3. Apply adhesion promoter 4. Spray 2 coats of paint Is the paint going to stick to the rubber? What do you recommend to use for cleaning? (Someone recommended Prepsol) Have you painted the rubber with success, if you have, do you have pics... Thanks! |

I've seen some that were painted. I have severe doubts, but if it's crappy already, what've you got to lose.
Maybe try the new paints made for plastics because they allow more flex. |

QUOTE(McMark @ Jun 30 2010, 10:10 AM)  Maybe try the new paints made for plastics because they allow more flex. Problem is that rubber not only flexes much more than plastic, it also changes size. I can't think of any paint that will work over rubber fr very long, and when it starts coming off it'll look like you-know-what.Perhaps something like plasti-dip? |
