spraying grille, fog surrounds, splitter etc...

Bascially all the black plastic bits are looking abit dull, so just wanted to brighten them up abit so what can i use to bring them back to looking quite new.

I dont mean changing colour, just give it a better black finish.

You can get back to black from halfords which is like a cream that sokes in and makes them shiney, other wise get them painted.

back to black? :S

If you do decide to paint don't forget to use an adhesion promotor like buldog. A standard matt black would look cool.

I have read this before. How long do you need to leave it on for and should you be masking up first etc.

I don't think you clean them with peanut butter. You clean them with a degreaser and then add the peanut oil to feed the plastic and leave a shine.

In all honesty I'd just spend a few quid and get brand new ones, I did this and it made all the difference..

Most of the time the lower grill is still as it was, so its a case of new top grille and fog light surrounds, think I paid around £55 from renault - you'll spend £15-20 in paints and sand paper.

Might just be me bit you can tell straight away if they've been painted, me no like!

I'd end up getting odd looks off the neighbours if i did that....
