The only thing that I have seen is black and its not really a paint but really
improves the appearance of old rubber bumpers and trim. They can be painted
though. The paint requires an additive that makes it more flexible. maybe
someone on the list has done this.

Is there any way to paint the rubber bumpers so that they look ok? I
would be interested in having color matched bumpers on my car, but don't
want to ruin a good set of bumpers experimenting! :-) Or does somebody
make modern-style painted bumpers and I just don't know about it? Sort
of like the ones on the RV8.
