Does any know of new products to help restore a 1969 gto endura nose. I have seen restored noses which appear to be completely covered by a black rubber like product, urthane maybe? Can anyone offer some help. My nose has cracking and some missing pieces but it is straight and I would like to restore it or have it restored. Thanks for any help.

There is serveral different kinds of repair materials they make for rubber bumpers. Most of it is a 2 part mix. And you have to have the gun to use with it. Take you bumper to a local body shop. A GOOD one! See if they can tell you what to use on it. Its like body filler for rubber bumpers. You just suff up the repair area with 80 grit. Aply the material. Let it harden and sand it down. If you are repairing a big area. You want to use serveral coats. Dont put it all on real thick.

I've used the 3M brand (I think it's called flexible repair) of this type of product with good results. The kit came with two tubes- mixed it up 50/50, filled the cracks, and then sanded it down after it dried. This can be done in your driveway, but you then need to primer with a good surfacer like PPG's K200 primer (be sure to add flex agent to the primer was well).

Hi GTO Chris,I recently used a product called Fusor that was recommended by my body supply company and it comes in a caulking tube and is single stage.I then talked to Dupont and was told to use primer with flex additive next then base coat without flex additive then clear coat with the flex additive.Whatever paint you use,make sure its all made by the same company as issues arise when using one brand flex additive with a different brand primer and someone elses clearcoat.I hope this helps.
