Refurbishment of 3 black parts that surround rear number pla

Postby sheriff464 » Tue 29.09.2026, 16:28

Hello, not sure what these are called; 3 black plastic pieces, one that surrounds the rear number plate and the two above the rear lights! My question; is there a company that can either dip or plastic wrap these parts? Any suggestions gratefully received. Clive.

painter that did my car told me about a specific type of rattle can spray (not called a paint) which works great in plastics, its not designed for plastics either, but i was surprised with how well it worked.

Ive used it on the bit above the lights and they havent faded (its been multiple years outside since)
im at work now, but when i get back, if i remember ill post the information in the can.

Not really what you asked for, but I have been blown away by how well cerakote made my black trim parts look 95% new (starting from very faded in Texas sun). It's diy, but it's pretty simple, and I didn't need to remove the parts to do it. Has lasted 2 years and going.

Jao and Matt, thank you both for replies on my query. Matt, the Cerakote paint looks promising, also available this side of the pond! Jao, would that have been your suggestion? Matt, saw the YouTube video of the Pike's Peak Hill Climb. Is that normally a public road, which is closed for the event? Awesome speeds achieved and breathtaking scenery! There are two hill climb circuits near me; Loton Park and Shelsley Walsh. Cheerio, Clive.
