Are you going for concouse points? As far as finish, according to the concourse 
rules the rear bumper is supposed to be DULL. I personally got nicked by this 
one at one meet simply by waxing the bumper. It shined up real nice and cost 
me! Your bumper may look semi-gloss or satin just from being wiped over the 
years with a rag with wax on it.

For what it's worth, I'd go with a flex paint. IMHO, standard paint will flake 
off with time and vibration.



I would love a second or third opinion on this one.  1628's rear bumper is 
going in 
for paint.  I recall Terry informing me to go with a flat urathane bumper 
paint.  
However, my bumper that I was sure had never been painted looks semi gloss or 
satin.  Also, two paint pros have told me that I don't need flex agent on a 
rigid 
bumper.  I have a Bricklin manual that called for flex agent. 

I would be great to hear recommendations.
