Is it that dimply type plastic,like the skirting around the sides? I don't think it's the smooth shiny type right cause that's the ABS plastic.

If so,Trim Dream off 'DaveXR8' on here works wonders :thumbsup:

The mothers stuff and the likes fades after a few weeks.Need to use some proffessional type stuff.The supacheap products don't last,trust me,I've tried em all :D

I can get a pic by tommorow.

I painted the lip gloss black, would that be the reason why it cracked you reckon?

Forever black

It's ok...

Put it on in as thin as layers as possible.Don't squirt a heap out then spread it around,just apply it thinly.

It will come out black as black but it's all in the application of it.If it's not applied right it will crack and flake off.

i use 303 protectant. It takes all rubber and plastic based products back to the original condition.

no crapy finishes from shit in a can style blackeners.
