Default Front bumper inserts
I'm thinking about removing my front bumper to clean out any debris. While it's off, I'd like to paint the faded inserts a low gloss black.

Any product suggestions?

TIA

I used a rattle can of black trim paint from Duplicor. It worked fine, but the area gets abraded pretty badly with road debris and pebbles and only lasted a couple of years.

You must use a plastic adhesion promoter and try to find some flexible bumper paint. It will allow rocks and pebbles to "bounce" off the finish. I may do this someday also.

Thanks, everyone.
Got a rattle can of satin black Krylon formulated to adhere to plastics.
Anything is gonna be better than the way it looks now.
