I have had it on my car for a couple of years and it has lost its dark black color. Can anyone tell me how to get that dark black back and keep it....I don't know maybe just have it painted at a body shope. thanks

 

you can have it painted, just use high quality paint. such as glasurit. its a urethane based paint and is very very prone to chipping. if you want the stock lip look you can paint it a flat or matte black finish.
good luck with your lip.

 

Yup - paint would do just fine. I don't think you'd have to take it to a body shop to get it painted though - just use some spray paint

 

If you don't want to go the route of painting it, You can go to your local auto parts store and pick up Mothers " back to black'' stuff does wonders on trim pieces and such

 

^^ +1. Mother's Back to Black FTW!

makes all your exterior plastic and rubber parts look brand new. needs to be re-applied overtime

 

Try TRIM SHINE by Stoner it has always worked to deeply blacken everything i have used with it. They sell it everywhere

 

Mcguires "Back to black" worked good for me, i reapply it every spring and fall.

 

wizards black renew....worked great...

back to black and similar products don't last very long, especially when exposed to the elements. Pick up some black truck bed liner spray in a can. Did mine a few years ago and still looks good. it also does a good job at filling in any nicks and scratches.

 

I wouldnt recommend painting it, the first time you scrape something the paint will crack and flake off. Every couple of years I end up getting a new 99 spec lip

 

any of those back to black products really work wonders. i cant remember which one i use but i applied it about a month ago and it still has a deep black look. try it out

 

watery based shoe polish for me, comes in a squeze bottle with a foam pad.

 

tire shine, the non silicone blue stuff, most local body shops should have something like that

 

please somebody post pics of 99spec lip on pre99 front bumper, i have never seen this combo

 

if ti has scrapes sand it all down and apply trim/bumper trim paint by duplicolor bring back same new color and doesnt flake or chipb

 

or you can do what I do to all of my exterior plastics. Clear coat them! I am serious as to its wonders! No chipping no nothing. It absorbs into the plastic and that is it! Once coat and you are good to go! Ask me how I know?! 3+ years on my '79 RX-7's exterior rubber pieces, and the plastic on my old FD. Never had an issue again with faded plastics.

 

that black renew i posted up is great...
body shops around here use it....
your not going to find this at an autozone....(atleast not around here)
this is going to be at a auto paint store....(bought mine at a local store tptools)
i think they have a website tptools.com
