Fender Trim Fade

Has anyone else had the black plastic fender trim fade? Mines starting to go and I don't know how to fix it

 

Mequiars Back to Black.

 

Will it get it to the deep black it was before?

 

alot of people just paint them (plastidip, bedliner, bumper/trim paint, etc)

 

It depends how bad it is -- clean them up good first and give it a shot.

 

just derp em .. or buy mine and get those color matched?!?!?!!?!?!

 

if you hunt or drive your truck through brushes dont plastic dip them, i plastic dip mines and it came out great until hunting season came, i drove it through a old dirt road that has brushes and when i came out the other side my fender trims looked like the buck i was looking for attacked it, sad to say i never found that deer. i think spray paint be the best way to go and if your truck is still nice and shiny just spray a some clear over it and that should do it.

 

Yeah plastidip isn't gonna work.. Ill probably end up cleaning it and spray painting it matte black

 

here buy mine. and bedline them and if you dont like em. you will have time to paint yours

 

is this gloss or satin? looks good

 

The fiberglass??

 

no the black part you are talking about haha or fiberglass

 

Ill just paint mine

 

I used penetrol on mine. They fade again in like 2 months but no where near as bad as they originally were.

Original:



Penetrol done in May maybe?:



Recent (no re-application done yet):



So you see it has faded a bit but no where near the originally faded state.

 

I used Rustoleum spray-on bedliner on mine. Works great and gives them a slightly textured look

 

KIWI black shoe polish. You can use it on your fender flares, and the back of your mirrors. cheap, and easy.

 

For a flat black look, I used a green scotch brite pad and removed the whitish haze build up and have been using the new type of spray on wax that doesn't turn the plastic parts white. Been about a year and all is well.

 

i took mine off and painted them turned out great... i even painted my bumper

 

i took mine off and painted them turned out great... i even painted my bumper (didnt take that off to paint just masked)

used rustoleum bumper and trim spray.


took them off cleaned them, a good primer and paint and they look great and will last longer than anything else someone might tell you to try on here

 

I've used a Magic Eraser and it has held up surprisingly well.. have to hit it again every 4-6 months but its not such a big deal.

think I'l do a Linex/Rino Liner type of thing eventually to give a more rugged look
