After market lights are often no bargain. A 240 aftermarket tail lamp I bought from IPD a couple of years ago came apart at the glue seams ... leaked water and finally the colors faded so badly I had to buy a replacement because it looked ten years older than the original 15 year old light on the other side. This occured in just 18 months!!! I would never waste my money on an aftermarket lamp again if the real Volvo deal was available. Considering the genuine Volvo lamp can be had for $126 ... IMO, Volvo OE is the only way to go.
I've not used Mar-Hyde on any on my Brick bumpers ... but I have painted several with SEM Urethane Bumper Coating and that paint looks and wears great.
Proper prepping is important. I clean the bumper with SEM cleaner than wipe it down with Prep-All (a pre paint degreaser), fine sand lightly, re-clean with Pre-all and apply several light coats allowing the paint to flash between applications. Works very well and really makes bumpers look brand new again.
