Does anyone know where I can repaint faded trim (windows/body/bumper) with something permanent, that won't fade in several weeks as I've heard by reading other posts?

I used duplicolor on my car in 2004, but it is already chipping off. Just in front of the rear windshield, I scrapped, primered, repainted that metal piece (separates the windshield from the roof) and it is also cracking/chipping...any suggestions for this?

Did you sand it with a light grit sandpaper before shooting down the primer? Is it possible that you're using a primer that is incompatible with the duplicolor black paint?

I have been VERY happy with Forever Black. I will give a progress update over time in the other thread. But it looks brand new right now.

It hit a freakin 101F today. The old record was 93. Thank you global warming. It is supposed to cool off tomorrow. I'll post it then. I forgot to take before shots though.

Sweet. It was a nice 73 degrees today with a breeze... well after it rained all morning it got nice out!

Forever Black worked for me... its a permanent dye. Someone else made a good suggestion about Forever Black, take the sponge applicator off and wipe it on with a soft cloth, it will be a smoother application. Also, do multiple coats...each coat is about 10% blacker.

Anyone try forever black on the interior?

It works for makeing green e-brake handles black again. Just keep adding coats about 10 minutes apart.

Has it faided or chipped fire?

It isn't bad so I may leave well enough alone. Probably should just put some conditioner on it.

I used did sandpaper it as well as used a primer that was supposed to be compatible with Duplicolor paint.

How long ago did you use it?

Where can I get Forever Black?

Its not a coating like paint, but a dye, like a marker, so it wont chip. Its held up for months without any signs of fading yet.

Got any pics bro? Would like to get an idea what it looks like, thanks!

I'll have to take some pics to show the details.

I also used it on the rubber strip along the top of the window... mine had faded to a light gray. I put on 10 layers of Forever Black, and it looks like new again.

The only thing about forever black is that if your mouldings have gotten porous (instead of smooth) it will not make them glossy again... it will simple make them a darker black.
