My front bumper guard on my 71, has some cracks in the rubber. Is there a way to fix it and repaint?

Now I'm confused....you have a post asking what the 71 bumper guard looks like, and this one is asking how to repair yours?

it could be he has one on his car,but has never saw one of anyone else's car.Since he now knows what they look like,maybe i he found out his was damaged.

Mine is not damaged that bad, just a few very small cracks in the rubber. I talked to the guys at the paint supply store, they told me that they had some rubber bumper repair stuff that would work, then spray it a satin black.
I also posted this on Moparts and a guy posted that was the M81 option, and only 55 Roadrunners and 14 GTX's had this option in 71.
Here is the piece I am talking about.

That is a rare piece!! I have seen a picture of one in a magazine, but never on a car! I wish I could remember the magazine.

Well, it's not that rare...I have the front guards on both of my cars. Personally, I don't like them that much, but since my cars came with them originally, I kept them. General put up a picture of my blue car in the other post. Here's another photo that might show it better.

Yeh, I 've got one on my front bumper also.

Not as rare as the moparts info I would think.

We could account for 1/2 of all production pieces on this board alone I bet. If those moparts # are accurate?

This stuff should work:SEM 39708,its a two part rubber.Just v out the cracks a little,mix the two part rubber,fill,and sand.Dont forget to use a flexible coating when you paint.
