rsweeney 40 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 whats the best way to get these trim bits black. i tried 'back to black' but it didnt work very well.the bottle was pretty old so maybe new stuff will work better? was thinking of colour coding but spraying is expensive over here !

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Linseed oil is awesome mate that's what I used to use Link to post Share on other sites
rsweeney 40 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 does it not peel off when dry ? never thought of that will try that aswell see which is better Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I used a meguiars one. Cant remember the name tho.But linseed oil does work well, but can be flamable Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 does it not peel off when dry ? never thought of that will try that aswell see which is better no mate it doesn't harden stays oily and gives that new shine look, as Craig says rags soaked in it can be flammable in a confined space so just use a small cloth to apply and then bin or a brush and then wash it Link to post Share on other sites

cbmotorsport 0 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 ive also had good experience with mer bumper and trim gel . OR buy some Hycote bumper and trim paint, and paint them . lasts for atleast a year if you do it properly, is a about £6 per can. Link to post Share on other sites
rsweeney 40 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 right just polished the golf and linseed has worked well so far but does attract the dust ! got the autoglym black die but as a spray - do you just have to mask of the body work ? or dab it on cloth then apply?
