Sup kornboy89...I hope this will help, I'm the bodyshop foreman at a dealership that sales 4 makes, one being Chrysler and have been in the field for 20 years now, the problem with painting rubber bumpers is in 2 deals, 1 being prep, 2 being in flex, find a paint jobber near where you live that sales say, PPG (thats what we use), Dupont, RM, Siekens, as such, its better that it be a good brand name product, but anyway ask the jobber for a good shop to have the work done and they should point you in the right direction. PPG makes a DP sealer that the part needs to be sealed with for adhesion to the gray part of your cover, theres no problem with the painted part, its the none painted gray part thats dempilled, then it'll need primer to fill in the dempilled places because the finish won't be smooth in that area if its not primed and sanded first.........the trick to the DP sealer is this, they make 2 different harderns for the DP sealer, 402 and 401, if you use 402, it won't bite, you must use 401, sound like a bit much, it is, but it can be done and it can work, just find ya a good shop and you'll be fine.....James (sorry for the bad spelling)<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>
