I've got this problem on mine, i won't be spraying it though... bit risky if your doing it yourself in my opinion. Even Baz said he messed his up a little bit if i remember correctlly. Take it to a bodyshop and get them to spray/laquer it... they won't charge much... The amount of money you spend on tin spray etc you could have had it done by a pro anyway.

autoglym bumper care, green label on the bottle, works well for me!

as yours is a Mark 1 Marc im guessing the trim won't actually be plastic and will be metal like on my other one? best bet is to get someone to paint it for you. normal paint will flake off though, i had to use some special kind of laquer and paint, though i can't remember what it was called. I'll have a look to see if i can find the tins.

was advised to use the special paint due to it being metal, my grandad used to use it on canal boats.

you have to use etching primer to get the paint to stick
