Spraying splitter and grille

[adam248]

My splitter and grille have faded to a nasty grey colour and I was just wondering if I have an attempt at spraying these will they will turn out ok?

I will be going for a matt black, so any help or past experience would be great.

I sprayed mine satin black looks loads better

Did you sand them down or primer or lacquer?

Get some turtle wax black in a flash... All of my plastics were grey with white wax marks the turtle was brought them up amazingly ... I may have gone overboard by using it on the inside too lol

Does this not seem temporary though? A few miles later they seem to be grey again to me.

satin black always turns out best IMO

I used gloss black cause I had some left after my wheels. Tidys it up!

Satin blacked mine about 4 months ago and still look like new

£3 odd for a tin... Touch up when need be... Did mine a few weeks ago and they're still fine... I did put an extra layer on when I cleaned it last week though

You can get that GTechnic trim restorer stuff thats meant to be semi permenant. Last for years iirc.
Maybe that's worth a shot? Have a read in the detailing section, sure there's some recent threads about it in there somewhere.

Its very good stuff, seen it used once, and it still looks like a new trim panel.
