I'm going to need a new front bumper top from 914Rubber, but I'm hoping to save the rear one. It's in really nice shape but it looks dirty, dull/faded (see pic below). What's the best way to bring it back to looking its best?

Thanks to all for the ideas. I’ll weigh my options. I don’t see the VHT vinyl dye locally but I do see Duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint. Does anyone know if that’s the same as vinyl dye (i.e., is vinyl dye a paint)?

Does anyone know if that’s the same as vinyl dye (i.e., is vinyl dye a paint)? The cleaning and prep is the key to a longer lasting solution,used the Duplicolor and it lasts 3yrs or so if not applied to a clean surface it starts to degrade in about 18 months. The sun here in NZ is rather vicious. I would stick with a product known to be suitable for bumpers,good luck. |
