Paint and Adhesive ... Don't sniff either y'all 😊

I need to buy paint for my new spoiler. Is there a brand that stands out to be a better product than the rest?

And I need to affix a rubber trim piece on the bumper. What's the best thing to use for that?

Thanks as always for your advice.

But the Carbona will make the rubber trim piece unnecessary by dissolving the bumper. It is the active chemical used in dry cleaning, very closely related to lighter fluid.

Anyway, it was a comment on your thread title. Sheena is a punk rocker!

I think I will go home and work on my hot tub. Seems to be less frustrating at the moment.

Find your colour code on the sticker in your glove box, these guys had a perfect match for Oldblue,

very nice two stage paint system, use their clear coat and remember 95 percent prep 5 percent painting equals a 100 percent paint job!

And I was right! A quick fix and now refilling the hot tub!
