How would something like protektakote(sp) stack up? The stuff used for painting pick up beds?

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

Rustoleum does look pretty good. It's def worth considering. Would I need to prepare the bumper before I put primer on it?

Cheers

Chris


I would just rub the metal bumper to take any knibs off it.You don't need primer.(They use this stuff on oil rigs and fishing boats). I painted a bonnet and bootlid on a Morris Minor with it.Got a fantastic finish.Still have about 1.5l left which I am painting my spare wheels with.Just putting black Hammerite on top of outward facing surfaces because the Rustoleum is in Trafalgar Blue and my Jimny is black.

However there is a new paint on the market called Rustoleum,that can be rubbed down and coated again. The VW fraternity use it a lot on there motors with amazing results. All from the end of a brush. Look it up on Google.

Wow, a whole 45 minute DVD of someone with a paint roller !! I can't wait to get a copy!! Seriously though it looks like good stuff.
Grey spray primer from poundworld does it for me though!! pity they don't do red primer as I wouldn't need a top coat for my Jim!!
