We have just finished doing the same thing to our 75 MGB. My wife did
all the work on the bumpers and she was very particular about what she
wanted. She used Eastwood's "Trim & Bumper Black" and the results were
perfect. She ended up with a deep rich looking matte finish black,
like
when they were new. Its a paint, so you must clean all the silicon off
that has accumulated over the years. I believe she used 3-12 oz spray
cans to do both bumpers.

I am set to deliver my 77 MG to the painter next week after 3 years of
work. I am trying to figure out a way to spruce up the rubber bumpers
on the car. I have seen cars that have had the bumpers painted in a
urethane type paint, but this is too shiney for my tastes, and as I
recall, the original finish on the bumpers was matte black anyway. I
have tried various products that are made to restore this type of
surface, but have not been entirely happy with the result. Anyone have
any experience in this area. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Chris Delling
