I've tried that heat gun trick on a couple different vehicles, it looks good but it doesn't last long at all. couple days and its back to normal

 

Use the black krylon plastic paint from wally wal, I did my bed rails and windshield cowl a year ago and it still looks good. I am stationed in Texas and if you have ever been here you know how hard the weather can be on your vehicle. I've tried all the other products like mothers etc.... Don't last long and IMO a waste. I plan to do the rest on my trim such as the handles and rear bumper since I know the paint actually works and gets rid of the faded black grayish look.

 

did you do any prep work to the plastics? Planning on doin my wiper crowl soon

 

I just clean the plastics with dish soap and a green scrubby to get all the dirt and any chemicals I've used off.

 

I have one very discolored wiper cowl. I just got some molding paint from Advanced. I will try it later today, if i can figure out haw to get the cowl off.

 

Here's a step by step.

ya, i found that and it was a huge help. All done with it and it looks great!

 

iv used back to black on the trim around the exterier of my windows and it worked real well it looks bran new.. now I just need to find somewhere that will take the tint off and re-tint for a price that doesn't require me sellin a kidney

 

ive just used that Turtle wax ICE stuff. That seems to keep em shiny for quite a while. Downside, using the sidestep right afterwards to polish the top of the cab leads to your chin hitting the bed rail at a FANTASTIC speed....not that thats ever happened to me before.

 

I tried the back to black but didn't like the way it ran down the sides of my truck after washing or after it rained. Looks good when you put it on but doesn't stay when water hints it.
