Hi All, I finally found an OEM 94-95 Accord Rear 3pc lip to go onto my Prelude.

Problem is, it looks like crap. All gray.

It would match what I have on my Lude now, but I'd like to clean it up.

Anyone have any tips on how to refurb the once black OEM lips that honda's come with?

 

anyone? anyone?

the black oem color comes back.. and looks pretty nice..

 

yea i used to use that stuff on my 97 Acura CL.

But when it washed out it goes back to gray ish.

Is there a way to actaully refurbish it?

I know you probably can't sand plastic. but does anyone have any tips/tricks?


When I get my car painted im considering haven't them paint mine flat black. Though I've always seen paint crack off the lips in a not-so-attractive way due to bonding issues with plastic.

 

I'm often browsing detailingworld.co.uk and over there, detailing cars is some serious business. many people use black wow and get some excellent results

cool i picked up 2 bottles

thx

 

s.e.m. trim black scuff it and shoot it

 

When my side skirts and lip turn gray i just put some tire shine on them and they turn black.

 

lesson learned dont use armor all

that **** made it worse

 

You'll need black dye, like SEM as suggested above. Summit also sells a dye called Colorbond that does a wonderful job. I used it on a friends Explorer bumper that was all gray, and it's been a nice solid black ever since...it's been over 6 months and it still looks great.

Here it is:

Edit: and get all that armor all off before you do it...maybe with some simple green, and then some acetone to make sure it's completely clean.

i agree with the prep part yes please do get all the armorall off

 

I've had luck with Meguiar's line of plastic cleaner and polish. Sideskirts are
still OEM new after 12 washes.
