      I used SEM bumper paint on my SPG. It has held up great for going on 4 years now.

        Joe, but that was paint from 4 years ago. Apparently the formula has changed?

          Where are you getting that info from? Just curious, I hadn't heard anything about that.


          I tried the Duplicolor trim paint and I was unimpressed. That's why I ponied up for the Wurth stuff for my euro grilles.

                    Some have powder coated and you can spray with with a grav. fed gun too, which is what I'm going to do. And you dont need to take it to a shop if you can do it yourself:p What Ive been curious about is wrapping them though

                          Because I did. Ive been wondering about it for a while too.

                            Yeah I know. Either way Ora cal would be a cheap way to do it. Get like 6 feet for $15 shipped, cut roll in half and you are golden

                              Im pretty sure pep boys sells the stuff too, but closer to trim sizes, so not as much cutting, but I guess it is better to have more than less.
