best way to turn old trim black again. no armor all
Want to turn my faded black molding and bumper caps and fender flares black again.
Any advice?
Heard the Krylon makes some special paint that bonds to the plastic??
What about plastidip paint> Any help is appreciated
thanks

This stuff works great. Lasts for a long time too. After you treat the plastics, Every once in a while put some tire shine on a rag and wipe it back over the plastic and it will bring it right back.

I wouldn't plasti dip. Some love it, have nothing against it...just doesn't last. I just scuffed mine up with sandpaper and used krylon fusion satin black spray paint on mine. Looks great! Even better it was like $3.50 at Walmart!

2nd that Krylon Fusion Paint, one can just does a ZJ front bumper, looks great.
The flares on the XJ were done in 2008, a lot worn off, but still stickin, no flakes.

It won't last forever, but it will hold up long enough... until you put new trim on.
In the end, new trim is the only answer.

Rustoleum bumper and trim paint. Even has a picture of a yellow xj on it. More durable than the fusion. Just spray it lightly or it fills the texture in the plastic.

I've done polish, shoe polish, heat, Black Magic, Back to Black, Armor All...
They're all temporary band-aids. The plastic just gets UV damaged all over again and dries-out all over again. Nothing is as easy and long-lasting as paint.
