Does anyone know how to change the colour of the rubber door protector strips and bumpers on a ZX? The window rubbers, door handles, etc are all black, the car is light grey, but the bumpers and door fingy's are a dark ish grey! ?? They don't match anything? "Friday" paint job maybe? [:o)]
Would paint just come off when hosed/washed? Can they be stained in some way? Any/all ideas would be most welcome.. [:)]
Brighten up a ZX. part two. lol.

Have a look in your local motor accessories shop for "Trim and Bumper paint" - small 250ml tin (not spray can)..just remembered using this many years ago on some vinyl headlining; no flaking and a sort of satin black finish. Bit like "Vinylkote"; impregnates colour to the plastic rather than putting a layer of colour on top of it. Needs careful application as it can streak a bit when putting it on, but works
Well the bumpers and rubber strips got painted black today by a very reluctant sprayer friend using a plasticiser based paint on both the bumpers and the door protectors.. [:o)].. lol.. At the moment the paint is a bit too shiny but I am assured it will dull back to a matt finish in a day or too.. It better, or I might be asking for a refund! [:0] [;)]
