How can i blacken my faded car bumpers??

Question

Ive tried the usual products, back to black etc but they dont seem to have much effect.

Answer 1

back to black from most motoring shops

Answer 2

Beat them with a ball bat! lol Seriously if the are just faded or the paint is powdery looking. Use some 360 grit sand paper to blend the chipped areas, and then 600 grit all over the bumper. Wipe off or blow off all of the dust, mask the bumper from the surrounding car. Use paint thinner on a rag and wipe the bumper off real good. It will dry quickly and it removes waxes and other road debris. You are ready to repaint the bumper.

I've used a black magic marker on rubber trim and it works perfect. May take awhile to do a bumper though. Try it on a small corner first. Not sure what they call magic markers in England. Kids use them for school projects.

Btw, the appropriate you need to wish for in this concern is a few undesirable PR for the corporate and also you get to collect unemployment. you have not any damages worth of any lawsuit even if. Please study the regulation previously you commence shouting about your rights and what's and is not any longer unlawful because you're obviously uninformed.
