    What is the correct, original finish material and appearance for the bumpers on a 1975 U.S. market 308GT4? Were they painted, clear protective coating, naked rubber; matte, satin, semigloss?

    Thanks!

    Thanks! Ok, I guess the next question is…..what’s the safest way to remove paint from rubber?

    Never had to do this but I would test on the underside some citrus based paint stripper, use an old credit card to gently scrape and white acrylic pad and water to clean up.
