Hi all
This has been on here before but can't find the thread. The grille on my P38 looks like it's supposed to be grey in colour and is pretty well faded. I would like to tidy it up. What should I use? I'm sure somebody mentioned a dye that is painted on, or is there something like back to black but in grey on the market.
Thanks
Billy

Very carefully. Alternatively clean with spirit wipe and grey scotch. Use a plastic primer then finish it with Upol Plastex mid or dark grey to suit your preference.

Morning all,
This is what I used.
It's been on the car for a year and is as good as the day I put it on. It's black not grey though.
