painting the 75 76 bumpers the same color of the car would make ANYONE hate them.

They aren’t that bad as far as looks. The problem is that they just painted the rubber. The rubber flexes the paint doesn’t. Even a light bump and you crack paint and it looks like crap!
Clearly an attempt to not replace the BUBs and flip a car. What else is lurking when you can see a bad fix on the surface? I don’t know the car so maybe the reset is perfect, but I’d check it closely for fiberglass. |
