"Forever Black Dye Kit"
found some very good reviews on the web, not tried it yet, will update when I've done the deed.
 
iv used old engine oil in the past if i havnt got any wd40 or boot pollish layin about , mite try the heat gun thing next
 
Has anyone tried the heat gun on the 1995 Disco end bumpers?
I ask, as it apparently does not work on some plastics.
 
i have used lots of stuff WD-40 iam on at the mo but is thinking of going down the linseed oil route soon
 
Here is my last Freelander when I had the bumpers and arches painted.

Heat gun makes it look like new and lasts a long time.
i did mine last year and it still looks ace, when it gets a clean.


just be carefull round the lights and fuel filler:eek:
 
Hi. The back end of my 2002 TD4 was grey when I bought it. I've tried a few products all were short lived, looked fantastic for the first few weeks. Then a dealer friend told me to try Forever Black, 8 months later still looks like new, highly recommend. Malcolm.
 
Hi

What was the outcome using the forever black dye kit? My bumpers and wheel arches have been heat gunned by the previous owner and now look terrible, so was wondering if the forever black dye kit works before I go down the route of having all the external trim painted or replaced.
 
Again, boiled linseed oil for me, tried all manner of products in the past and most have disappointed, makes the roof on the 3 door look great as well.
 
Be careful with boiled linseed oil. Rags with boiled linseed oil on can self ignite. Leave them in a bucket of water when finished.

I've used this on mine and it works and is easy to do. It comes with a cleaner solution to use first then apply the forever black, normally needs 2/3 coats to blend in good.
