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 |

Just post a wanted ad. You will be flooded in BBBB's Big beautiful Black Bumpers.
I got two excellent ones to swap out my faded ones. $30 each, but bet you can get them for free. Plenty of backdating going on. They won't be appreciated until they are as rare as rhino horns, then there will be a mini rush. |
