R1 Lip any suggestions?
Hey guys I was wondering if their were any good ideas out there for getting a fading black R1 Lip black to a black that stands out a little. I mean mine is black and all and looks good with armourall on it but I am looking for a more perm fix. Any ideas on how to get this thing gleamin again?
p.s. Mods I searched but coudln't find anything so I am sorry if I missed it

Use Mothers Back to Black. After about 2-3 coats it bought the lip back to what it used to be getting rid of all the fading I had. Kept it that way for a whole summer before I had to reapply it.

But if you want to avoid that route, you can always try Forever Black Bumper And Trim Kit. Just google it.

All the guys suggesting paint and cf wrap----that is a great idea until the first time you whack something and the lip flexes

Any aerosol paint you use should be labled as flexible. Pretty much any black paint would work, but you need to add a flex-additive such as they use for the bumper covers. You can buy it in various brand names at any local shop supply house. Air and a sprayer would be preferred but you could reduce it and TRY applying with a brush.

I've had great luck with Forever Black on another vehicle (Mercedes 190E 2.6 Limited Edition) that was having the same problem with the black plastic bumper sections. It is a fairly permanent solution.
