Dave,

How are you doing? How's that "B" enjoying not carrying around that A/C unit?

In answer to your question, I saw a Rubber Bumpered Midget at a Slalom here
in Texas a couple of months ago with the bumpers painted to match the car. It
had been done very well and did  look like it was supposed to be like that to
anyone who wasn't familiar with an MG.

If  you want to do yours, you need to check with your local PPG or Dupont
paint supplier. There are special additives that are mixed with the paint to
make it adhere and be flexible for application over rubber like materials.
Basically, you are going to need the same products that are use on late model
cars without metal bumpers and  some careful preparation of your bumpers.

By the way, have you any cats?
