Recommended Posts

Gavin Waddell

I've got the possability to get some grey bumpers but would really like black ones has any one changed colours in bumpers?

 

I've got acces to a private painter and done some prep work before so that sing a problem

Plasticare will do it reasonably successfully even though it's not really meant to be used for that purpose.

Use platicare. Even though it says it's not intended to change the base colour. It does do it. Only prep work you need is a good clean. Once dry, apply 3 coats with a piece of cut out sponge using a dabbing method. I didn't even use half a bottle using 3 coats on both the front and rear bumpers. The effects last indefinately too. Applied over 6 months ago and they're still as black as ever. Here's the results...
