Restoring bumper back to black on 1996 Audi cabriolet

[lozfuller]

Hi - my first post since joining the forums, so hope it's relevant for this section!

Although I've noted the specific make/model of my car, I think this is common to a lot of cars! I've attached an image of the bumper showing areas where the bumper has completely faded. What I'm not sure about is whether a previous owner has tried to restore these to black and that has now peeled off or whether this is the original black which is still showing.

So the question is - has anyone got any ideas how to gets these back to black?! Is there a type of paint I can use to do this or is it more complicated that that?

Many thanks in anticipation!

Hiya mate, rub it down properly to gey a decent key/finish. have a word with your local paint supplier. Ask if he can do the paint in rattle cans..
Post some photos when it's done..

Thanks Dick. Someone has suggested Wurth Satin Black for the paint. Is that a decent shout?

Yes, probably. But assuming the bumper is plastic, it's well worth getting a proper primer suitable for plastic and applying that first. Also, as with so many things in life, preparation is paramount - I'd rub it down painstakingly carefully with wet and dry (used wet) and carefully mask off of course.
