Bumpers/Arch Trims - What Are We Using To Blacken?
Anyway i want mine black and was wondering if there was anything other than the black 'bumper black' or 'back to black' i could be using? i'm currently using a black polish/dye from Wilkos of all places that looks good for about a week then slowly goes back to grey!
Thought about prepping and spraying them in say a matt black?
Your thoughts/solutions please.

Last much longer than rubbing a product on and works out a lot cheaper too, just don't go too mad
keep moving the heatgun about and don't concentrate for too long in one area as you'll burn/ overheat the arch
returns a more original finish to the arch, ie not overly shiny, just original! :wink:
