Black bumpers

[silverbambi]

How do I keep my 'black' bumpers black? Have tried a heat gun, which worked well – for a while!!!

Regular application of silicon spray

I use this, lasts much longer than silicon spray.


Autobrite Direct Well Dressed Trim and Tyre Gel Dressing 500ml https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QB7G7P6/?tag=eliteelect-21

Autoglym Bumper Care gets my vote. Works amazingly well in my experience and brings faded grey back to deep black and lasts a long time as it is a gel.

The only permanent solution is to paint them. I just had my syncro bumpers done in black raptor paint and it looks the bee's knees. I'd tried all the others (heat gun (never again!) Boiled linseed oil, dyes, auto glym, poor bouys) nowt really worked properly apart from paint

Just sprayed mine last month with generic black bumper spray. Looks loads better

I did my previous van using smooth peanut butter!
Worked an absolute treat

How about painting them in body color?

Rats love peanut butter, don't leave it anywhere rural they can smell it from miles away

I was tempted to lick it myself!

STP SON OF A GUN always used to be good (last tried in the 1990’s).
But lasted so much longer before requiring reapplication.
But things move on and environmental laws often mean changes to good formulas.
(Like nitromoors )

It might be worth a try.
