Plasticare Black/grey

[Rolando 10]

i've got phase 1.5 bumpers/trim and was going to take them to a body shop to get them refurbed in black so they'd be phase 2 but now reading and searching about what other people have done with plasticare i'm curious to give it ago.

 

but my question is if i buy black plasticare, will it work with my grey trim and make it black?

 

also how many pots should i buy?

'Tis damned good stuff.

 

Finally got round to having a go at my back bumper yesterday and it really does a fantastic job.

 

I've used the grey but from that experience, if you used the black it would end up black.

 

For a tenner, its got to be worth a shot!

 

 

 

In fact I need to change my avatar picture over there <<<..... the car looks so different with a properly coloured rear bumper!!

A little goes a long way, make sure you use gloves, it stains fingers heavily

How big is a bottle, there doesn't seem to be a volume/amount in the description.

 

Will it do more than just one 205?

Not sure how much the bottle holds, looks about 150ml.

 

Yes, I did all my black plastics on my 205 (including mirrors and sunroof trim) and I even spilt some in the road and I only used about half a bottle

Just got some of this through the post, the bottle is tiny! But im glad it seems to go a long way! Doing my light up vanity mirrors with it

I'm not even sure 1 bottle would do my entire car....I felt like 1 coating wasn't enough so I did 2 coats on one piece of trim. It looks spot on, but I ended up using more than I expected

yeah i used 2/3 ish of a bottle on bumpers, doorhandles, 3/4 trims, boot trim.

depends on just how faded everything is

And it lasts, different car, same colour, 18 months after initial application.

I've just ordered some after seeing this thread, hope it works I just bought the one bottle, so I'm hoping it will do all of my considerabley faded trim haha.

Would black or grey be the one to use for ph2 309 bumpers and trim?

I am guessing black, as all the ph 2 205 bumpers are black

that looks really good! did you use black or grey? they have come up quite dark.

Will this stain the red lettering on the side badges btw? Or can I just wipe the dye off afterwards?

I would imagine it would stain it, so i'd try being super accurate with a small brush or something.

Ha ha ha,

Just use heat out of an heat gun soon turns it black again.

Just apply heat gently.

It lasts aswell,alot cheaper.

Not if you have to buy a heat gun it isnt.

 

Plasticare lasts anyway, and there's zero risk of melting the trim.

I used black on phase 1.5 grey trims and only one coat on both cars so could look even better with a couple of coats.

It will stain as I found out, I'd either be really careful and paint round it with a small brush or cover the red in Blu Tak and and be a bit more careless with the Plasticare.

how does this last on interior trim?
