Faded bumper trim

There alot of topics on this already....
But,
The best way that I have found aside from painting is showroom new, and there is no need to remove the trim.
I decided to paint mine with the bumper and trim paint the last time I did mine..
Some taping is required but I prefer the results.

Thanks for the quick response and input guys. Yesterday I spent much time removing trim and treating it with Forever Black dye. Improvement was negligible. Not worth the effort. So as much as I hate masking I guess my next attempt will include Duplicolor. I've used the product in the past. I was trying to find a better way.

I have used Forever Black a couple of times on different 850's and really liked my results. I think it's real important to make sure you have the parts super clean or the dye won't soak in good. I also used 2 coats.
From what I have heard, the heat gun process is a 2 year plan. Not sure how long the bumper paint last or if it chipps. I'm about to put some bumper trim paint on a set of roof racks. Hopefully it will hold up well.
Anything that last less than a year is a waste of time to me.

This is what I did on the white car I owned. Worked great and still looks pretty good. That's my son in law's car now.
