Nice pics, Will.
I like the grey look and I'll bet anything that hot plastic fumes are carcinogenic.

There isn't much in the way of fumes released when using this method. td
you're probably right about the fumes... i ended up pulling my shirt up over my face for some of it....

I checked mine. It had the following:
Warning: Use of this heat gun to turn weathered Wrangler flares black and shiny has been known to brand the operator as a poseur trailer queen owner...
That's even worse than what I said!!!

My brother's jeep was spray painted by the local hoodlums. the cops told him to use WD40 and a sock to remove the vandalism. He did, and it worked great, but some WD40 dripped down over the greyed fender flares, blackening them. He ended up wiping all the flares with the WD40 and they're all nice and black. Not sure how long it lasts, but it had been a couple months when I saw the Jeep, and they still looked good. Also not sure if the WD40 will "react" with the flares over time and cause damage to them....
U-da man... great hands on show-n-tell
sure, no problem. if i ever move it and forget to tell you, just let me know.

I put something like this on my Jeep's fender flares a few years ago. (This was before I found out that it was wrong to dress up my Jeep and parade her around like a harlot in public.) As I remember it didn't last long, perhaps one season.

My Jeep's a bitch. But I love her anyway!
