Marc,

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe they use bed liner on those bumpers, not
power coat.  You should be able to find something similar at a FLAPS.

If all else fails... give Go Westy a call, they'll probably tell you what's
on there.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: Touching up GoWesty Bumpers

Hi all.  First time poster here....

I just purchased a set of used GoWesty Bumpers (the industrial looking ones
with the Krinkle finish as shown here:
http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=4141).  There are a few chips
here and there and some tiny rust spots starting to appear.  I believe the
finish is a powdercoating and I was wondering if anyone had any luck with a
tough paint product that would either match this finish (for touch ups) or
could be used to put a coat or two over the powdercoating?  I don't know
much about automotive paint or the compatibility of different paints...
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice...
