bumper paint

[doneagle]

                    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?

[shanebo]

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.

          HI    I have a soft bristle brush about 5 inches long .just fit in your hand .I used Dawn and warm water..I washed both sides good .the Dawn gets out all the Grace and oil out. rinse good and let dry .you canuse a fine primer or not .I did a test piece first to see how it would turn out .and it turned out ok ..put on a lite coat .let it get tacky and put on another coat ...then i put on another coat final  let dry... its enamel so don't put anything on it for like 30 days then its allmost like open       I cant think of the word you know.............Don

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.
