    So I noticed how faded my fender flares were when I bought this truck. No surprises for a 16 year old truck.

    I ordered Forever Black after reading comparable product reviews, and they seem to hands down get the best reviews and ease of use.

    Below is a picture of the box and the contents:

    It’s very easy to use and apply. Here is a shot of what I started with:

    Here is a 50/50:

    Final product:

    For about $14 bucks, you can easily freshen up the truck and make it look newer. All four flares took about 30-40 minutes. I applied two coats minimum for each flare. I didn’t mask off or tape up anything.

    Impressive! I've always used Mother's Back to Black Trim Restorer with good results, but it's not a dye, like this one claims. Let us know how it holds up!

    Very nice! I wonder though how long it lasts?

    Have you gotten any bleed/overspray when driving. I've always had that problem with tire black.

    Zero. I’ve driven it after it rained and while raining, and it’s held up great. No fading so far.

    Put on a few cars & it held up pretty well. But may start to flake if surface not cleaned well.
