Paint or gel bumpers??

[mk1nova_rich]

What works best? Just wanting to bring a bit of life back into my bumpers and other trim plastics - only for a rally car so doesnt need to be anything expensive

Links or product names would be helpful :thumb:

Gel doesnt flake off like paint will.

IMO, heat gun them which brings the oils in the plasic up to the surface, then gel coat them to protect the bumper from weathering & giving them the wet, cherished look.

Cheers Craig, will give that a whirl

Clean them right up with hot soapy (fairy liquid) water to remove dirts & traces of old Back to Black etc etc.
