@@MasterArmedforces I’d just scuff it lightly with 1000 grit probably. Every bummer is different, the plastic could be smooth or a little grainy. It would depend.

@@realitycheck3672 i bought septome plastic primer today, and this duplicolour trim and bumper paint. Using it for chrome window trim. has sanded down, alcohol rubbed, applied 4 layers of the primer and about to finish with the trim and bumper paint in the video. would it need clear coat? or not?
@@rapfactor1 Depends. If you want a matte finish, use a matte clear coat. If you want a little gloss use a regular clear coat. The clear coat is meant to protect the paint from chipping, if you think the area painting could be exposed to rock chips or other road damage, clear coat it.
@@realitycheck3672 it probably will be being at the front, surely it will hold better with plastic primer first? before applying this trim and bumper spray?
Over 2 years on the bumper still looks really good. You can get this in the links below. Duplicolor - ebay.us/4Etcgj The plastic masking tape is this stuff its cheap - ebay.us/kX3mmG
Any rattle can I always feather coat for 3-4 passes yes it might take me 5 -7 passes total but it always get complements on how great and smooth it is with no drips or peel
No faffing about with undercoating, sealing with a varnish etc.. looks great. Going to buy some for my ABS black plastic side skirt trims. 3 years on how does it look now?
Oh I have a friend who can make any decal I want,if it looks bad I'm going with tribal yellow and neon green It is a black truck Nissan Pathfinder with a plastic bumper cover. Thanks for the tip,about whale seamen
It still looks good. Small amounts right in the fog light groves have peeled, but i think that was poor prep on my behalf. Super impressed with the actual coating.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I did my trim the other day. Started out very well and looked amazing. For the harder and more shiny plastics you need an adhesion promoter. I lost a few flakes already just driving home today. Fully cured it still doesn’t adhere to the harder plastic. I used 400, 800 then 2000 grit sandpaper and then washed and alcohol rubbed everything again before spraying (no adhesion promoter.)
I did not see your video. Had permanent bugs on bumper so I decided to paint it. I grabbed my super paint for plastic cleaned it and nothing went right. So about forty hours later I just put one of the last of three more coats of bear gloss spray paint,frankly I used primer coats of spray and fill bondo for plastic and the first coat tonight has flaws even after sanding what felt smooth. So I'm gonna build up two more cans and stop. If it looks bad I'm still done if it's beautiful I'm done I no longer care.
No very good. It’s super thin compared to normal paint. It’s like it penetrates the surface of the plastic, you’d really need it to sit on top for hiding cracks.
No, it doesn't, which is why we thought we'd give it a crack. It's not much more work than using the oils/coatings. You just need to make sure the plastic is clean and must have removed any of the previous treatments. This stuff didn't work like normal paint. It really soaked in to the surface, where a paint will traditionally sit on top. It's been a week since we did, the van has been outside in the sun the whole time and still looks fresh as if it was done 10 minutes ago. Pretty happy with it so far.
landenx9jordan. I think I would put a primer on it to promote better adhesion. That’s what it says to do on my rustoleum trim and bumper paint. Prob get some primer for mine.
I just did mine and wished I had used an adhesion promoter. Went on VERY smooth and looks amazing. Then I started to get flakes when it cured to full hardness.
It would but it’s not a nice finish. You can get a similar product for interiors. I did a full colour change in a car 15 years ago. It’s called vinyl dye.
I havent seen the van for about 6 months now. But at the 2 year mark it was still pretty good. If it wasn't a work van, i would probabaly do it again at the 2 year mark, but work van it still looks respectful.
Its actually still looking good today. However, a few small sections have chipped of one of the edges, which is probably down to poor prep on my behalf.
@@ZeroTo60Tube great then : if it survived 6 months it is stil' better than any wd40 fix 😅 Also, let's keep in mind that's it's truck That's supposed to to work everyday not a coupé cabriolet 😉 Thanks for your feedback
@@promethee89 instead of all of this products if u want a permanent solution use a heat gun 🔥 thats the only way to remove the fade white part and bring back the original dark plastic back
The UV breaks down the oil in plastic. No need to paint. Use a heat gun to bring the oils back to the surface. Looks brand new and lasts longer than paint. Plenty of TH-cam clips show how to do it.
I was about to do exactly what you're talking about, but upon further research I found that the heat gun method works great, however it in return makes the plastics very brittle and break easy
Hi Zach, it still looks pretty much the same as it did the day we did the resto. Here is a link to our instagram with a photo i have just taken. bit.ly/2WQ4ZbP
@@jennalyndonjagroop5809 Ahhh in that case, look in to plasti dip. It is a peelable coating that you can get in mat black and can also be removed later if you want to go back to original.
Hi Mark, To be honest its about due for a freshen up now, but we are kissing 3 years of QLD sun, never being washed. I am very very impressed with how its lasted.
I'm thinking of doing the "heat gun trick" first, then doing this over it. That way if it's scratched, it won't reveal the old faded gray, but the heat treated black. Regards, 2010 Transit Connect.
Still no fade. The van unfortunately doesnt get much love and hasnt been washed. But the bumper isnt showing any fade. Only issues a few bits have peeling the seem around the fog light holes. Im guessing its due to not properly cleaning in the groove.
The van has been sitting outside since the video, probably been washed once or twice and the majority of the bumper still looks like the day it was painted. There are some small sections chipping away in the grooves of the spot light holes. wWere obviously i didnt prep properly.

Any porous plastic.

We didn't actually have any colour options. It appears as a very dark grey almost black.

It would but it’s not a nice finish. You can get a similar product for interiors. I did a full colour change in a car 15 years ago. It’s called vinyl dye.

Saw the insta...why you no do the back bumper as well?
Can you use this to black out white bumpers
Yes absolutely. Assuming they were bare plastic
why does it looks a bit blue
Would this spray blend or match well with an Audi Q7 matte black?
It's hard to say as even after 1 or 2 years in the sun the bare plastic does fade. You really need to commit to painting an entire piece.
Zero To 60 I’m getting my Audi Q7 completely done in matte black but they said they can’t put vinyl on the bumper so I’m looking for other options.

Excellent man thanks for replying will go get some for the cruiser thanks
How long did it last
About 2-3 years in qld sun. Vehicle stored outside.
Can you use a clear coat with this method? Would it mess it up?
What was the cleaner that was used to clean all the oils off the bumper?
Would this be good to cover minor scratches on a RAV4 plastic bumper?
It won’t fill the scratch but it will make it all the same colour, so they will be much less noticable
