Subject:      Painting the Exterior Fiberglass Body molding and bumpers- best
              methods, materials?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

Hello All,

Itıs wet and rainy in New York today...

I was interested in painting my 87 Wolfsburg Exterior Fiberglass Body molding and bumpers, what the best paint, process/ methods?

I was thinking of just cleaning them off (not sure with what?), Then filling the cracks with fiberglass and resin, sanding smooth, using some bondo, Spraying with Primer- Gray. Light sanding. Clean. Then spray paint.

My question is what to paint it with...

I see Lacquer, Enamel, or Latex. I also see that Plasti-dip has a black rubber spray that would be a little more rubbery protective.

What are your thoughts?

I heard that SEM makes a bumper paint, anyone know of this stuff?

Thanks in advance.
