Gray fender flares.. seeing is believing
 

I was googling the groups as of late, trying to figure out how to get my
fender flares black again. I saw the posts about using a heat gun, and with
a little hesitation tried it out.

Wow! I'm a believer now. Whoever came up with the idea.. I'll buy ya a
beer sometime ;)

wanna see the difference?

I painted mine with the krylon paint made for plastic. Can't remember the
exact name. Used mineral spirits to clean them up real good first. Look like
new. Did this about a year ago and they still look great. No fading or
cracking.

Re: Gray fender flares.. seeing is believing
 

Good post!

They do look darker.
Hmmmmm I wonder if that would work on the Ford cataract headlights.
I suppose the reason it works is because it freshens the plastic by sort of
re-melting it.

Now you just have to finish the job and get all of those little spots you
missed.

I generally keep my vinyl parts from getting that way by keeping a
conditioner on them.
If something DOES fade, I have always used SEM trim paint on my rigs.
Hopefully my TJ won't need any of that sort of thing for awhile.

Try this stuff; Mothers Back to Black (Formerly Bumper Black). I apply it
with an old sock in the shade. With the wear and tear you may need two
coats. Just keep applying as the plastic absorbs the fluid and starts to
return to factory color and condition.

BACK-TO-BLACK®

As your ride's exterior ages, rubber, plastic and vinyl exterior hardware of
all colors will dry, crack, flake and deteriorate. This oxidation can be
stopped and reversed with Mothers® Back-to-Black®, our favorite auto-care
concoction. This trim treatment is great for all sorts of exterior hardware
in all colors-bumpers, molding, louvers, window trim, vents, seals, skirts,
door handles, wiper arms-anything that's plastic, rubber or vinyl. Apply
Back-to-Black® to sun-burnt plastic, rubber and vinyl to revive the
factory-new sheen, then re-treat that exterior hardware regularly.

#06108, 8 oz.

Shop around as the price varies greatly.

Krylon fusion

It works equally as well on interior trim.

I tested a spot on the mudflap of my ZJ. Spot's still there
under the dirt. I'm sold on it.

Owwwww, my EARS! Please, no shouting.

Depends on how bad they are Kate....

If really bad, you'll want really really fine wet sandpaper, 1600 grit
or similar. Diamond paper is even better but a bit harder to find
unless you have lapidary or plastic sculpturing supplies around.
Tape off the area around the light with at least two good layers of tape
so you don't accidentally scour anything. Keep that paper wet and wipe
the abrasive side frequently so it cannot pick up debris and scratch the
plastic.

When the cloudy layer is totally removed, carefully switch to a fine tin
oxide [messy white] or rouge [messy red] on a heavy sweat shirt and buff
any major visible sandpaper marks out.

Then polish with an optical PLASTIC polish. Easiest one to get ahold of
is Meguiars PlastX You can use their power ball or a REALLY soft
backing on a conventional polishing pad. You might be able to do the
entire job with just PlastX if you have lotsa patience or the lights
aren't that bad.

I then use a really fine lapidary polish on a soft felt lapidary
polisher, but that is now taking you into the range of eye glasses or
telescope mirrors.

Best to coat the lens with a good plastic protection afterwards and
renew it every wax job. Works like a charm, also works on rear lenses,
parking light lenses, and your neighbor's cheapo plastic windows.

The old standby was to rub them down with acetone-free nail polish remover.

Re: Gray fender flares.. seeing is believing
 

Shoe polish doesn't even work that well on shoes. Old honor guard tip
was to use Fiebings black dye, then spit shine with Kiwi, then a thin
coating of Klear floor wax. If shoe polish gets old or wet or both it
displays whitish deposits. The black magicolor car wax works better,
but not as good as plastic paint or mild heat.

Re: Gray fender flares.. seeing is believing
 

Shoe polish doesn't even work that well on shoes. Old honor guard tip
was to use Fiebings black dye, then spit shine with Kiwi, then a thin
coating of Klear floor wax. If shoe polish gets old or wet or both it
displays whitish deposits. The black magicolor car wax works better,
but not as good as plastic paint or mild heat.

Thanks :)
I've been all the way down the road of Ford headlights, and back again on
hubby's last truck.
I have done it all and it DOES work but it is such a tedious process and so
time consuming and it doesn't last for what I would consider a long time.
I was hoping for a quickie.
They aren't bad YET but are going that way.
It's my husband's truck, so really.. if he wants the things cleared up, HE
can deal with it this time.

Yea, I know that sounds mean but .. hey... I have my reasons.

Seriously?
Ever tried it?
It has always seemed to me that there was some sort of film that was there

All that sanding, rubbing and buffing removed it and gave access to the
plastic underneath so it could be polished.

Oh hey, I found some PLASTIC polish. I may let him try that if he decides to

There is a multi-part kit available where all of the individual items
are highly marked up and getting close to the price of new mail order
lights. If the lights have that internal cloudy look and the faces are
bright, the polish won't help unless you have really really tiny hands
and can polish the insides. The sandpaper/polish is a lot faster but
also requires a bit more skill.

Mother knows best. :-) It's $4.99 at K-Mart plus tax, tag and title. And
Mother's Plastic Polish is great for the plastic windows on convertible
