I'm going to paint the bumpers and trim around the windows of my '81 245 DL black like it is on the GLT paint scheme. Question is what do I have to do to prepare the aluminum bumpers and the stainless steel trim to accept paint? Would just roughing them up with 1000 grit sandpaper do it? Should I use primer first? What king of black paint should I use? The Volvo paint seems to be sort of like some rubber based product.
Thanks
Jim
