PTcutie, I think you have hit on the "FIX"!!!

I took red rubbing compound and with a lot of elbow grease was able to rub the tape marks out. Then I polished the bumpers with a good silicon polish. So far the mark have not turned gray.

It worked, looks great!! How long ago did you paint them? Did you have to use a cover coat?

PTcutie · #26 (**permalink**) 02 Oct 2007, 08:32 pm

did it about a month ago. u dont need to do a cover coat, just make sure the bumpers are really clean and wipe them down with some rubbing alcohol before you spray. make sure u are doing EVEN, FAST strokes if anyone would llike to attempt this. if you dont move quick u will get drip marks. 3 coats should do it. i used about the whole can on the front and back. and dont forget to tape around the edges well, this bumper paint will ruin the clear coat

I used red rubbing compound and a lot of elbow grease. After the grey was gone I used a silicon polish. I did this 6 months ago and so far so good.

I had the same problem with my 02, had no problem with the dealer, there is a TSB out telling the dealers to paint the bumpers
