black trim on body

[bravedude]

hello all,
what would be a good way to bring the black back to my body trim on my 1990 accord ex. it's a dull grey color, the previous owner repainted but never put a clear coat. so my car never shines. thats why i wanted to make the black trim more"black" looking. i was temped too use shoe dye but that would look crappy and make my car look bllaahh !

Most auto part stores have a spray paint that is made just for bumper and door trim at my store it's called back to black it works pretty well

If you wanted it shiny then get the fushion primer forplastic then get a gloss paint to go over that I did that on my car

Is it just dull from age or has it been painted over? Pictures would help us help you.

it's just old. sun took a toll on it. it's not painted just factory black. which looks black and greyish.

A Heat-Gun works pretty well too....just don't over do it.

Your trim may be turning grey from previous owners using petroleum based dressing. Buy you some water based dressing for trim. It may take a few times and it should return close to the original color.
