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 painted my bumper tops, rocker covers and valence (I don't have a front one yet...) with spray on truck bedliner. It adhered very well, covered nice, made my rather bad looking parts look much better. And it has a good, not smooth finish. Should be resistant to chipping as well.
