Martin, thanks for the tip about the Mar-Hyde Bumper Black. I applied a
can this weekend (one coat to the grille side and two coats to the
hood/engine side) and am quite pleased with the results. The difference
is amazing - the fiber board looks almost new.
Over time I will see how well the bumper black paint holds up but so far
it seems like the best of the suggestions I received to my original
post.
PS. $10 Canadian for a can at a local auto parts store in Calgary.
Thanks again!
