Jerry Alexander Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 As the restoration of this car continues I am wondering if anyone has had an experience with restoring the gloss/shine of the front rubber bumper? Mine has large areas, mostly on the driver's side that appears to have some or all of the "shiny" surface missing.. If you have had similar problems and restored the entire bumper to look close to brand new, how did you accomplish that? Repaint it? If so, what with? I thank you for your help.

Digger914 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 When I redid this one I used an off the shelf product called bumper black. They also have a special goo for filling in any gouges. If you do fill gouges use the spray on black, otherwise the wipe on renew works and it's easier to work with. The anniversary stripe is something you will want to do before you put the door handles on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Alexander Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thank you. Where do you get this material (bumper black)? Any automotive store such as Auto Zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger914 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I got mine off the shelf at the local auto body supply store, haven't ever looked to see if Auto Zone carries the product. Googled up bumper black and didn't see an Auto Zone add, did find a large selection of product choices for considerably less than the off the shelf price. Even better, also found several U-tube vids on how to restore everything from faded to gouged and torn so I'm going to send you to the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
