The bumpers are anthrocite grey, the paint can be had from Sherwin-Williams. The process done to factory spec. is quite involved. But if you have a good spray gun and patience I would do it. But, I went budge, because my car is not a garage queen and already had a Earl Scwab paint job.
Here's the short version of what i did:
1. take bumpers off, remove bumper skin, remove trim pieces
2. get wax/grease remover and scrub with course steel wool
3. get some clear coat remover, Pep Boys had some last I saw
4. start with 60-80 grit wet and finish at least at 1000 grit wet
5. wax/grease remover again
6. tack cloth
7. Spray with DupliColor Bumper Spray paint, grey or black (flat only)
8. let harden 24hrs, re-install bumpers
9. let it be, or hit with polish/wax, etc
DupliColor(sp) is made by Sherwin/Williams and sold at most auto parts stores.
Good luck,
Ed S
