Hi all,
recently refurbished my wheels gloss black and need the bumpers to match... I really didnt want to fork out to get them sprayed either black or colour coded silver i was just going to rely on back to black (well wd40) but it hasnt worked!
Does back to black offer any other qualities over WD40? as i thort they were pretty much the same thing.
Anyone got any advice? Other than 'get them sprayed'

Apparently a heat gun works, ive tryed a blow torch but i got patchs 
Try back to black as wd40 I think wont last long.

Never heard of trying WD40, but have heard of a heatgun working well.
I use wet and black for mine (tyre dressing) although all of mine are painted apart from mudflaps

Well I think it melts it a bit or something and makes it black, it looks quite good and really black.

i think olive oil is supposed to work, heat gun basically burns all the crap off and gives it a good finish, i did it on my old corsa

back to black washes off in the rain same as wd40 both kinda crap really however i use black hoe polish and put it on with a cloth but make sure u have cleaned thm properly 1st thn use a black to black spray like thm pound ones from asda or poundworld and thn use sum rockport waterproofing over the top its like a resin kinda stuff so repel the water so no black runs off... it takes a long wile but last forever took me around 2 hours but havent touched them again now for about 5 month and still look mint,
peanut butter duz work but it dusnt like hot weather... well the smart price one dusnt anyway it went flakey lmao
