Hello. I want to touch up the paint on the bumper where it is cracked in some places. What is the correct color of black paint to buy for the Reatta? Usually bumpers seem to be semi-flat colored, but the Reattas seem to have a glossier finish to them. Does anyone have the correct color code or can I just go to a auto parts place and use something off of the shelf?
thanks
Luke

use model car paint from the hobby shop...it is made for plastic and works fine. Gloss black.

My 89 had scrapes on both corners of the front bumper. I sanded entire bumper with 400 grit sandpaper and painted with SEM trim paint in gloss black. Looks great. Just do several thin coats and don't rush it .

Does anyone know what to use to fill any gouges in the rub strip, before painting ?

I agree with John White. Use SEM Bumper Coater- gloss black. It's held up extremely well.
