There are some rock chips on the black painted bumpers on my '74 1.8. Im looking to repaint them, what's the best product to use? I was thinking Wurth satin black trim paint? Also whats the best procedure for painting them? Thanks

Jon.
You know how easy it is to remove the bumper? And the tits?

I would do so, take the bumper for bead blasting, or walnut blasting (prefer bead blasting, as it's milder). Prime it immediatley with a compound that is "friendly" to the Wurth paint. Then spray it with Wurth satin black when it's convenient.

Shouldn't be a big chore. Just make certain you use the right air pressure for the topcoat. You weren't thinking about rattlecan painting it were you?

Think that's a good choice. The Wurth has slightly more of a grey tint to it than the factory finish. I recall it being slightly glossier too, when I was trying to touch up some scratches on my black bumper. But if your bumpers, rockers and valances are all painted the same, it will look nice. Try doing a test and comparing. Or maybe a paint shop color match for you with a durable paint.

I was actually thinking of removing it and "rattle canning" it using the wurth satin black trim paint if thats the right stuff. A poor college student doesn't have the time nor the money to be doing much more than that

So, any other comments?

Yeah, get a quart 9or pint if available0 of rally black from an auto paint supplier. It is a single stage semi gloss ( LOW gloss ) black used or the stripes and rear valances on muscle cars. It's real paint, not rattle can so you will need a gun. Do as Pat said and have the bumpers stripped with glass bead, walnut shell or soda. Then properly clean them and prime, followed by 2-3 coats of the black
