Ric Golen writes about tire black on rubber bumpers: is it any good?
I don't know about tire black, but Bondo makes a spray can of stuff called
something like 'bumper black' They also sell a complete rubber bubmper
repair kit. I first used it on the spit last christmas. It lasted about six
months before it started to peel in a few places. Admittledly I probably did
insufficient prep. This weekend, I was the whole car and sanded the bumpers
with steel wool and re-sprayed them. It looks great (as great as rubber
bumpers can look....). Time will tell how long it lasts this time.
The can costs abourt $4. One warning though, the solvents in this stuff
are really nasty. Irecommend using a respirator when spraying it.
