OrionStang Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 My car is now almost 5 years old and all the black trim is fading to gray. I know there are a ton of products out there that claim to bring back the showroom finish, but which ones actually work? And how long dot they last? Other options would be plasti-dip and/or wrapping. Maybe wrap it all in 3M carbon fiber vinyl LOL. This pic shows it all, the trim under the front and rear bumpers, and along the bottom of the doors, along with the grill and black parts of the mirrors.

youngbass98 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I would plasti dip it even though the 3m carbon fiber would look badass but you would have to wrap every trim piece to make it match and look good 06 monte carlo 2 12 rockford p3s soundstream rubicon 2500 crescendo audio mezzo 6.5 ct sounds 125.4 execution audio and shca wiring 2 xs d3400 on stock alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashlight_65 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 When I wash my 'hoe I usually hit the trim with the black magic tire shine. After I spray my tires I spray it on a rag and rub it in. It works better than armor all and doesn't wash off or leave runny "oil stain" streaks after it rains. Give it a shot, I'm sure you have a can already sitting in the trunk. My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbdblue Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'd probably use SEM Trim black. Just sucks waiting if you can't find it local. But I'd take SEM over any other paint (duplicolor, rustoleum, etc.) AA-Atomic-Clif Designs-DC-Diamond-Digital Designs-Directed-Eclipse-Fi-Hertz-Hifonics-Kenwood-Memphis-Phoenix Gold-Pioneer-PPI-PSi-Stinger-Sundown-TC Sounds-Viper-Zapco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 All the little tricks and products never seem to last. Therefor i would do it the proper way and paint it. I know. That's the best option. Removing everything to do it right is gonna be a PITA. Especially the rear valance.
