So my 93 metro the paint is 3 different colors, basically different levels of paint fade. I've got dark red, lighter red and pink lol. So Im wanting to repaint it, do it the old rustoleum style thinned paint with foam rollers and wet sanding. (for any doubters it works great. did it on my sables front bumper looked oem) My question is, Will I have any problems painting the black plastic bumpers? Front and rear They look ok, but Id much rather have them the same color for a sportier and clean look. Thanks in advance for any help! You guys rock |

Not sure what the prep might be but LSI metros cae with body color bumpers rather than the black so I know it can be done... |

. Bumpers usually require a flex additive in the paint to last and keep from cracking and flaking off. . |

Take the paint you want to use to a auto paint store and ask if there flex additive will work with your paint. |

ok, thought so. I probably cant get a flex additive at walmart lol. It's not too big of a deal if I cant paint the bumpers |
