Hi Adrian,

I think the thought of a RB Midget with a painted bumper is cool.  The
RV8, Modern Brit v8 MGB has a painted rubber bumper.  My firebird of
days gone by had one too.  It lasted a long time.  Somehow they painted
a base coat and had laguer over the base, so it matched the car color.

Would like to see one.

Rick
