I'm sure you can find a set of bumpers. If not, don't
fret. You can strip the paint from the bumpers. Once
the paint is gone, you will want to wet sand the
bumpers with 600 on up to 1500 grit sandpaper. This
will bring the original bumper back. The bumpers are
made with a hard rubber that can be sanded. If you
have gouges in your bumper that have been filled with
some type of putty, you can still sand the bumper out
then paint with a flexible bumper paint.
Good luck and let us know what kind of Midget you buy
and any other questions you may have.
