Does anyone have a suggested product or system to use to restore my 1976 - 914 rubber bumpers back to a good looking black. I have read about many product like peanut oil, sunflower oil, motor oil, cooking oil, heat gun and many more. I did a teat sample on the bottom of the front bumper using tire black, back to black & vegetable oil. Of the 3 the vegetable oil looked the best after application and a 5 min dry. I would think nothing will provide a long term fix but just a one month restore to a black would be great.
Thanks |

I went over to a local auto-body supply shop before tackling this. They recommended:
Remove the bumpers and set up some saw horses to work from 1. Thorough cleaning to rid the rubber of all dirt and chemicals 2. Dry thoroughly, then "sand" with a Scotchbite. 3. Clean again and the spray with molding paint Bought all the stuff there; in addition, I got a can of rubber body repair to smooth out a rough area. It's like a bindi for rubber. If you want the brands names, I can get them later . Good luck with the project; you'll be surprised at how good they will turn out |
