Subject:Painting the Exterior Fiberglass Body molding and bumpers- best methods, materials?

Hello All, 

It�s wet and rainy in New York today...

I was interested in painting my 87 Wolfsburg Exterior Fiberglass Body
molding and bumpers, what the best paint, process/ methods?

I was thinking of just cleaning them off  (not sure with what?),
Then filling the cracks with fiberglass and resin,  sanding smooth, using
some bondo, Spraying with Primer- Gray. Light sanding. Clean. Then spray
paint. 

My question is what to paint it with...

I see Lacquer, Enamel, or Latex. I also see that Plasti-dip has a black
rubber spray that would be a little more rubbery protective.

What are your thoughts?

I heard that SEM makes a bumper paint, anyone know of this stuff?

Thanks in advance.
