fx4 flares

Faded Flares
A buddy of mine used to use that Back to Black stuff and said it worked really well. I tried this Marine (boating) stuff called Aerospace 303 and it worked awesome. I was really suprised by the results, but like with anything else when it rains on them, it eventually to wears off. You could consider painting them with a Satin Black paint, just make sure you use this Adhesion Promoter called "Bulldog." Hope this helped.

Another good way to bring back the color is to use a heat gun. It pulls the oils in the plastic to the surface without having to paint or use any other products that will eventually wash off. Worth a shot before you go spend any money.

I am getting ready to paint my plastic bed rails. Needs a little help, but I think painting is the only way to go. Everything else eventually washes off again. A good plastic primer and some satin black in a rattle can should do the trick I think.
