    That's news to me. I clear coated my metallic silver bumpers with clear automotive enamel. It made them shine more. Not trying to start anything, just telling you my results.

    Yea.. Once I seen the tab and thought about it for a minute, I remember thinking I can work with what's left. The crack had to be there before I painted it cause the paint has a line/trail in it. I guess I either didn't notice it or it cracked in the process. Good thing is that it's not into the face.
