What options are there to permanently fix the faded plastic trim around the exterior of our trucks? I'm talking about the door handles and bezels, tailgate handle and bezel, bumper caps, tailgate cap, side mirrors, windshield trim, etc. Mine are all black textured plastic. It looks great with some tire shine, but that only lasts about a week.

I'm hoping to colormatch the door and gate handles and bezels, but what about the mirrors, bumper caps, etc? Is there a good paint or dye that will hold up?

 

Bump!

 

A guy where I work has a Nissan Titan and he was telling me they have this problem real bad. Apparently on a Titan board he follows, the guys have been plasti-dipping the black trim pieces, removing them and spraying them with plasti-dip.

Just thought I would throw that out there as an idea...

 

Agreed. If you dont want colormatched and like them black plastidip is cheap easy and imo looks good. Its a nice satin but now they sell a clear just for plastidip and it makes it glossy. That would be simplest most economic solution.

 

I plastidipped my grill and lower valance, looks good but it gets damaged too easily. I was hoping for a paint/dye solution that is more permanent.

 

Look up gatorback coatings, expensive but it looks great and is permanent. No chips or anything after 4 years.

 

There's a ad on tv that has a product for what your lookn for can't remember name but I know there is something

 

S100 motorcycle engine brightener

 

Yeah ive seen that stuff on tv too but idk if it works. You could use non textured bedliner. Sounds wierd but a guy i know usex it for basically same thing your talking about and tirned out really good.

 

Adam's Polishes Super VRT works great you just have to apply it every few washes. I use it on my bumper trim and it makes it look brand new.
