HI IOWA EAGLE and I was talking about bumpers .To paint or not to paint .the wagon looks good chrome and sx4 looks good both ways ..I E I saw a sx4 the other day that was silver with black flairs and bumpers .it did look good i was surprised so how good it looked and it had a red pin stripe front to back ..IOWA you were right about that . but I don't know how it would look on a wagon ??............DON

It looks real sharp on a wagon!! Iv seen one in that color combination before. If I recall correctly it was a Sport cuz it had the blacked out trim. Black and silver sure look good together and a red pinstripe really makes those colors pop!! The only thing is though the interior would almost have to be black or grey to look right.

...You thinking of doin a a color change on your Eagle Don?

Oh yeah

...I was also going to ask you if you know of any good paints that work well on plastic trim....I repainted an 82 I had and within a year the paint was flaking off the plastic trim.

thanx,
shane

The red accent stripe was found on all Sport models except those painted red. They left their accents silver.

You could also get a Black SX/4 with a white accent stripe. My friend's red SX/4 also has his that are white.

All the red ones I have seen used the standard "chrome" inserts. Never have seen a factory black one, but guessing they are the same way.

IowaEagle · « **Reply #27 on:** March 23, 2011, 06:32:53 AM »

I might be wrong but I think AMC actually clad the bumpers in some kind of black material as the finish is extremely durable. To include multiple deer proof.
