What kind/brand of paint should be used on the rubber front bumpers. I picked up a donar at the D & G to experiment with, but I just used Home Depot rattle cans.
Also; how should the bumper be preped before taking it to the painter ? Attached image(s)

Pat Garvey quote
"Buddy of mine did it with a 944 Turbo many years ago. Man, it looked great in monochromatic white - for a year. Then it started peeling, cracking & looking like fecal matter". Not to rain on your friend, but it sounds to me like he didn't prep very well. If that was true of all the flex additives, then the bumpers on my RS America should really be in bad shape, they're 14 years old white. Anyone that has done any paint will tell you that 90-95% of the job is prep, shooting the paint is the easy part. I've been using flex additives for 20+ years, never had a problem with them as long as I read the instruction and prepped correctly. Later, Don Attached image(s)

Thanks Don,
What is the proper prep procedure ? Especially since these rubber bumbers get siliconed weekly.
