Bonnet grilles

[essexpunx]

Hi all, i have a China blue 2001 1.4 Micra Activ, i'm thinking about spraying the bonnet grilles satin black along with the badges, what do you peeps reckon, chrome or satin black, also any ideas on how to restore the plastic trims on the bumpers back to a dark gray, rather than the patchy chalky white colour they have faded to, cheers.

id go black mate, ive recently changed my car on an s reg and you can buy stuff called back to black especially for faded parts on bumpers or use tyre shine i think!

Yep deffo better black (Y)

Does back to black require the normal sand, prime and laquer?

for a temporary solution use wd-40 on the bumpers or black/grey plastic handles etc.

Now i may be falling for the ultimate #### take but i'm going to try it at the weekend, lmao.

it does work! but wd-40 is easier for me and doesn't taste nice on toast...

 

[davey1991]

it works so so well.
PROOF!

Before.

After

It lasts as long as back to black, its more even and its cheaper. Win win and another win!

Thats pretty amazing

Do it, cheaper the peanut butter the better, its got more peanut oil in it.

Tried the peanut butter today, and it really does work, amazing.

 

[davey1991]

Thought it was the other way round, only decent peanut butter has peanut oil in it? the cheap stuff has sunflower etc.
