    fill break in stock running boards + fix bumper

    If you want a good plastic repair/ filler, use this stuff called DuraMax (sounds like the name of a condom huh?) Its a 2 parts filler that is made for plastics and if I remember correctly, its flexible.

    Getting rust!!!

    The clear is "the protectant" so to say. nothing else that goes on before it is hard enough to withstand the weather, rocks and other harmful things.

    Getting rust!!!

    Dont see why not. Did you put a clear over it or was it an enamel paint? Self etch can be purchased at any auto body store in either a spray can or in a quart for a gun.
