Subject:Plastic Back to Black?
From:Mark Belanger
Date:Wed, 29 Aug 2018 17:22:20 -0700

Greetings all,

I recently got a replacement center piece for the airdam on my '91 GL
Camper, which I lost on a bad trail. It's pretty faded, so I'm wondering
whether there is a reliable way to get it and possibly the lower grille
closer to the original black?

Typically I've seen recommendations of using matte black spray paint, but
I'm skeptical of paints ability to adhere to plastic when it will take such
abuse from rocks and other road debris.

Has anyone used Bondo Black or Meguiars Ultimate Black with any success?
I've also heard of some technique using a hot air gun, but haven't yet
researched that.

Thanks much,
MB
