Mike are you the one with that beutiful Corvar that was rusto rollered?



No, not me. I have done the process on some test panels and even put a wicked black finish on a home built HTPC, but have not had either the block of time, or the garage space for an incremental marathon session, to start on my car yet.

Its just as well because I can't decide whether to go with the original green or switch to black.

I plan on painting (trying to )the bumper trim trust me it was in sad shape and integral to the top plastic filler for the bumper. The original black was chalky white and the quarter round at the top that use to be so called chrome with clear plastic over it was flaked out chrome with yellow to brown plastic covering it.



That clear plastic covered chrome is trouble. If the plastic covering is not solid it all has to go. Back to that prep work - a clean, smooth, and solid base for your paint is essential. If the black part is chalky, make doubly sure the surface is stable and not embedded with old waxes or other contaminates.

Let us know how it comes out.
