Blackening Bumpers?

[Giles]

Hey mate,theres a product called texture coat
it pretty much is the best possible thing to use
to get that texture black plastic finish.
You can get it from protec,alas you need to spray it in a gun.!

You could also paint them again with VHT Vinyl Paint... comes in a rattle can from SuperCheap/Repco/AutoOne etc.

This WILL penetrate into the plastic.
I have have used it on PVC Pipe - and was thinking about doing my lower bumpers and rear wing on the Mk3 with it also. Test it first as I don't know about ABS Plastic.

I on the other hand used satin black spray paint once before. To keep the flat look, you can't use clearcoat, so after a few washes it started fading. I've tried the Vinyl/Interior dye in a can before by VHT, and it comes out good, but if not prepped properly and applied in the right conditions, it can scratch off.
