Default Im about to respray my stock bumper and i have a qustion...

The stock bumper for a 95 civic is urethane isnt it? I was initially going to repaint my aftermarket fiberlgass bumper...but then i found out that theres so many cracks and bondo already on it *it was free so other dudes had it * that it wasnt worth fixing. So the stock bumper is going to be repainted instead. Anyways... Its made out of urethane right? Just making sure so i can go back to the paint shop to get the right paint for urethane just in case.

thanks

yes.. they just add a flex additive to it.. you'll be fine if it's urethane or abs plastic.. just make sure that there is a flex additive in the paint.
