Chad,
Visit any local auto parts store and look for either Mar-Hyde
or Plasti-cote "Bumper Black" paint. It is a paint rather than one
of the silicone based "restorer" type things. Remove all the plastic
bits and clean them very, very, very well with either straight Clorox
or Lacquer Thinner to remove any silicone residue - my local body
shop uses straight Clorox. Wash them down very well in soap and
water and then make sure they are dry. From there on out it is a
simple job of applying several coats of the paint until you are
satisfied you have full coverage. Let them dry overnight and you are
good to go. Unlike the silicone based "restorer" things, this is a
paint and will last a couple of years under normal conditions.
Good luck........Jack
I am probably going to have my car painted black while it is in for the
body repairs - it is red right now. Any suggestions on what can be done
with all the trim that is faded gray looking right now (trim on the doors,
bumpers, below the doors, fender wells, etc)?
