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! |

Thanks for the ideas. The more I think about it, the less likely I am to use adhesive promoter and paint. The expanding, contracting, and flexible nature of rubber just makes it seem difficult to paint and have good long term effects. The Wurth rubber treatment or 3M rubber treatment seems like it may last longer.

You can paint the surface to get color back, but the best bet is a die as the OEM are very porous. Just make sure the bumper is good and dry when you do it or you'll be trapping water in. You can make a ok bumper look good, but if the studs are crap, I'd look for another good used one. |
