How can i blacken my faded car bumpers??
Answers:
back to black from most motoring shops
shoe polish
Back to black has always worked for me - perhaps you're not following the instructions.
for a quick fix wd 40 . lasts a while .
auto glym vinyl and rubber care
it's the action of sunlight bleaching the plastic
if you are really concerned about the appearance you need to replace, but the cost is gonna be prohibitive.
put the money towards a new car an keep it in the garage when you is not usin it
sorry, but that's the only way
otherwise it is back to black every other day
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.
Just paint it
there,s a paint made for these bumpers that that you can get that will make them look like new,,it s called bumper paint,,and any advance or auto zone sells it,,there is a little sanding involved,,ans some priming,,but it will last a long time,,and looks great too,i have used it several times,,and recommend it highly,,just read the instructions on the can ,and it will go on good,,and look good,,and last,,you don't have to be a paint expert to use it either,i hope this helps you.
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.
Buy a black vinyl and rubber spray can @ a car shop or Kmart, Target. on the paint section and read the instructions how to prep the surface, this is very important and just go for it .
(news papers and musking tape) easy project to do you will feel great to look @ your work. i hope this will help you.
gently use a heat gun to strip all the crud off it. works evey time.
looks like new, but it's a slow process
buy a spray can of..back to black, from halfords.
take it the car is a vauxhall, no kidding use a hairdrier or heat gun on a low setting about 6 inches from bumper you will see it change colour
I THINK YOU WILL HAVE TO PAINT THEM WITH A SPECIAL BUMPER PAINT THEY MAKE A KIT JUST FOR THIS JOB ASK AT YOUR LOCAL MOTOR SHOP I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I HAVE TRIED ALL SORTS OF SPRAY CANS AND AFTER A FEW DAYS IT IS JUST THE SAME NOW I JUST SPRAY THEM WITH SILIICON EVERY WEEK.UK DRIVER
