bumper paint
My 72 C20 has black bumpers and I want to paint them off-white. I'm going to get an abrasive wheel to get the paint off, then prime and paint them. What is a good rattle can paint that would be good for this and hold up for a couple years?

Re: bumper paint
I don't know about longevity, but I used Rust-oleum Painter's Touch 2X to paint my trim pieces on my grille and plan to use the same on my bumper. I like the paint because it goes on well and covers nicely. I'm toying with the idea of coming back with a clear coat to help with longevity and rock chips.
You can see the paint info and process I used in my thread shown in my signature.

Re: bumper paint
I like that appliance epoxy spray paint they sell at Lowe's and Home Depot. It seems tougher and lays down a little flatter. Only a few colors available though.

I repainted my bumpers with the “Appliance Epoxy” about four years ago. The look real good and the Epoxy finish is pretty durable. I’m going to redo them again when I disassemble the bed to put the new bed wood in. Why Redo them? Because I took a shortcut with the prep work and now surface rust has broke through on the edges. When I redo them, I’m going to strip them to bare metal, then prime them with “Self Etching” Primer, once I build it up and Sand them smooth, I’ll shoot them again with the Epoxy White. |
