Dear All,
I've searched this and the other forums but can't find much about the best options for spray painting the external plastic trim panels; such as the window finishers, the rear "D" panel external trims and the front and rear screen finisher trims.
Where the external body plastic trims / finishers suffer from ageing / weathering, what is the best method to restore them?
I've heard wash them in WD40, oil them or paint them.
Any views or experience gratefully received.
I degreased with thinners then sprayed mine with Hycote Bumper Black while the trims were off and the rest of the car was in for a respray. WD40 restores the black for a few days, as does oil. Silicone grease lasts a bit longer but not by much.
I use linseed oil on the bumpers, takes a few coats, which only takes minutes, lasts months, nice and black , haven’t tried it on the other trims, but can’t see why it wouldn’t work
