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) ![]() |

Your "PREP" is specific to the product you are using. Read the data that comes from the material manufacturer and prep to those specs and those specs only.
Unless you KNOW the product well... IMHO...Don't make shit up on application or prep...!!!!! Also Pat made a great statement when he was iterating about silicone. Because NO typical paint coatings stick to silicone. The stuff is like Teflon. When painting a part that has been prodigiously coated with silicone in the past. The painter is stuck with one of two alternatives. (that I know of) Either take the part down to base material, then prime and paint. Or add silicone to the paint material to make it silicone compatible. The problem with adding silicone to the paint is that silicone additive (Like SMOOTHY) breaks down the paint more rapidly than without the additive. And flattens the color. . Silicone + UV = premature material breakdown. The above is just my experience. Yours may be different. Clayton |
