Hello, I was wondering whats best for the faded grey plastic wheel arch trims. None of the plastic restores work. Should I paint them black or the body colour [white] ,also whats the best type of paint to use. Thanks.

ohhhhhh yes i would like to know as well

as i toooooooo have taty grey bumper n wheel arches do i need to get the same black as my corsa or could i use different

i was gonna paint them fuscia pink any hints n tips would be lullllyyy

I know this sounds odd but Peanut butter is good to restore the black

Your better to paint them the colour of the car. but blacks nice aswell. I would just use back to black. Although u need to do it every so often

baby oil, smooth peanut buter, heatgun.......all good for bringing the colour back

ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thanx 4 advice hmmmm

has any one had there car moped i was just flicking through total vauxhall have been considering and sumone said its pretty hard to do ect ect ???

i had the same problem recently but i chose to primer and spray matt black, my car is a darker blue colour and it looks nice. I had the handles done too.

a heat gun is good for bringin the plastics back to black

Buy a cheap can of black, spray them.. done! spray your bumpers to match though.. Best way to do it is sand it down, primer it, spray it and i find lacquering it is also good. Then again on my old corsa i just sprayed over them black.

ive got a black gloss spray ...... and the fella says u dnt need to prima with them so i maite use that

Iv'e just sprayed my wing mirrors black from silver and laquered them they look great but make the trim look shiot, may paint aand laquer some trim as a trial but dubious wether it would look too black and tacky?

yh shud be ok aslong as u dont mind it peeling off after a few weeks, or as soon as a pressure washer touches it.

i have had mine done, gloss black after grey primer.. works fine. Pressure wash the car so many times and it dont peel off at all.

so in the long run its a case of sanding priming then spraying cool ive got loadsa time lol thanx guys
