    Lots of color options there...what do you think is the best.

    I would go with either the Dark Grey or the Flexible Bumper Coater just from looking at the .pdf file on my PC.

    I always bet on black...

    IMO, the flexible bumper coater is a good choice, it's what I used on the last "go round" with the hood insert. A flexing agent is useful in a piece that experiences not only road/trail vibration, but also, more extreme temp variations (expansion & contraction) than anything else on the vehicle that would be painted, calipers being the obvious exception.

    FWIW, I've painted my insert 3-4 times, & the SEM Bumper Coater is the best finish I've achieved to date, only time will tell if it's durable.
