Hello

 

My mayfair has black bumpers and they have faded/been marked over the years, is there anyway i can rejuvenate them?

 

Cheers in advance

I did mine with Halfords Black Matt spray paint. Matt paint is very easy to apply and if it gets scratched then its only a 5 minute job to do it again.

Yup, just wet and dry the bumpers, wipe them down with a wet cloth, let them dry and then spray matte black!

  Once they crumble to dust in your hands, buy new ones.
