Bumper and grab handle paint

[squash13]

Has anyone painted their bumpers with success? I have a 97 GSX and I think the bumpers are vinyl?? What product would be best to change the color? Also, the rear grab handle, think it's plastic?

Thanks!!

before you paint them try forever black if they are faded only .

it might take a couple of applications before you see more "permanent" results. but like all plastic/vinyl it will always get dulled by the sun.

as far as paint goes i have been in the automotive industry for a while and have never seen good vinyl paint since it does not bend.

i have used it in the past with good results.

good luck!

i just noticed you wanted to change color, if you want to change color on handles there is plastic paint, but the vinyl trim might not be a good idea. not trying to shoot you down, but i have seen the end result.

www.semproducts.com makes good plastic paint , just make sure you use the prep agent.

your local automotive paint shop should carry all colors or mix a custom for you.
