Grey corsa arches

As with most corsa b's the wheel arches and bumpers turn grey. Is there anyway I can bring back the black? I heard that if you use a heat gun on the lowest heat it can bring back the black? Things like back to black are a waste of time lol

Thanks

I agree that back to black is no use once they are badly faded you probably need to use this from when the car is new to keep the colour ok - Kiwi black shoe dye ( not polish ) use the squeezy bottle with the foam applicator on the top - this will give them a new lease of life - apparently you can go over the faded trim with a heat gun to restore the colour but I have never tried it.

I used a heat gun on a temperature of around 500 degrees c, Providing you do not leave the gun on an area too long it works very well. My bumpers and arches are much much better now, and it will last!
