take pics
|
well ive heard that you can clean up gum with peanut butter, and also remove scratches on cds with peanut butter.... so who knows lol
|
It's probably more of a result of peanut butter oil than the peanut butter itself. Oil makes plastics shiny.
|
the oil is most likely what does the trick, but having it in a nice creamy form makes it easy to put on. ill do a round and put up pix once i get my car back from mazda.
p.s. chunky is killer on a pb&j but for the car stick to creamy, and dont bother trying to use it on the fender vents unless you can take them out to do it. |
What would happen if you added jelly..OoO..

FYI, I used Dupli-Colour Bumper Black Vinyl Spray Paint (Satin Black) today and it looks ridiculously amazing.
"Dupli-Color Flexible Bumper Coating - Black, 311G" - Supercheap Auto New Zealand I took the shrouds off, which gave me an opportunity to fix the broken and cracked 'tabs' that hold the shrouds in place. I was all prepared to go out and buy two news ones, but these have come up so good, no need! |
Heat gun, works wonders.

Will post some pics soon.
One thing I will say, you must make sure the shrouds are clean as a whistle before using the dupli-colour, and be sure to shake the bejesus out of the can before spraying. It's a rubberised paint, so if it hasn't mixed properly, when it lands on the surface it can pull away from edges... As I said, so happy with results, I am now going to do the lower rear bumper with the same stuff to match the newly painted shrouds... |

Can you post some pics? Just saw this stuff the other day and it looks like it might be descent.

^^How was the ease of application?
|
It's a spray can, like spray paint, so application is just like paint. I took my shrouds off, to save masking, cleaned them thoroughly with Isopropyl Alcohol to remove all the road grime, wax etc, let them dry, then hung them and gave them 3 coats, about 20 minutes apart. I let them dry over night before reinstalling. Very straight forward.
|
Hmm, maybe someone can try just plasti-dip. You can apply it without removing the shroud, and just peel it off the over spray.
|
|
Best way to do it. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-show-sh...3/#post4249779
