Hi Ken

I think you would have a lot of trouble painting a rub strip because they are plastic coated foam and semi-flexible.

You would need a specialist paint and bonding agent made to colour match. Very expensive for such a small component.

I suggest with all the scrap yard 928's around at the moment it would be easier to find an exact match for the part you want unless it was a special order paint job?

Hi only need plastisiser coat to paint new parts. Once it has been painted in its life just prime and topcoat with solour to match your car.

If you need Steptoe Watsons number, let me know. At the last count, he had 13 928's in his garden.
