I have heared that heat gunning the arches will help keep the black (tried b2b but found it to last about a week)
Any advice so i dont melt any of my car

i tried the heatgun trick today on my arches and yes it does work, but for the time it takes you may aswell take them off and spray them. which will probably last better.
