How do I restore a faded rubber bumper/

Jun 07, 2005 3 Replies

Have a 1995 Lumina van. The black rubber bumper looks very sun-faded/grayish. I can spray it with Armor-All, and it looks black again, but only for a very short time. IS there some product that gets it looking new again and lasts a good while?


SEM products makes a black flexible bumper paint in spray cans. It should be available from your local auto body supply stores.

Yes, it is called paint.

This paint costs $10 a can, and to do an entire Lumina bumper might take 3, 4, or more cans. So it is not worth it if the paint job only lasts a year or so before it looks faded, or cracked or peeled. Now if it will keep it looking good for 4 or 5 years, then it is money well spent.
