Hi. Sorry, those are Euro bumpers. USA ones are a bit pricey still....but we do keep them...Genuine Italian ones.... Regards. | ||

Jeff, Which bumpers are those? US or Euro spec? Andreas, Make sure the shop mixes a flex additive into the paint. That will let the paint flex with the bumper material instead of flaking off. Lots of shops skip the flex additive when redoing plastic bumpers. A couple of years later the flaking begins. | ||

I had my front bumper painted in the car's color as well (stole the idea from Sloan's car, which IMHO is the nicest 308 I ever saw). Soon thereafter I slightly bumped a wall. That cracked the paint wide open and now it is flaking off. Not a pretty sight. Have to return the car to the paint shop. :-( | ||

FChat member Paul Sloan's car has them painted. Here's a small pic of his car. Very sharp! Look for his profile for a larger pic.  | ||

Any one re-painted bumpers to match car color? | ||

Mine had some cracks in it, I used J-B weld epoxy to fill it in, then sanded the bumper , then primed and painted it with a single stage urethane. | ||

NAPA makes a flex bumper repair kit, part #765-1540 which I have used and works great for fixing any cracks or nicks. Then I used bumper black spray for final finish. | ||

Tom--Plasti-Kote makes a spray-can bunper /trim paint which I've found to be excellent. They have flat or semi-gloss black finishes. I've found the flat to be much nicer-- very easy, forgiving, and evening to a completely smooth, uniform finish, whereas the semi never turned out that uniformed. Although I've never used this stuff on my Ferrari, I have on a couple of other cars and they turned out great. | ||

Took mine off, sanded them, primed, resanded and painted with bumper black. Turned out good. | ||

Has anyone tried restoring or refinishing bumpers on a 308 to make them look new and "fresh" again? If so what method did you use? |
