QUICK TIP - HOW TO RESTORE YOUR BLACK TRIM!

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Wondering how to fix that gross faded trim?

I have a solution for you!

I've heard about this before, and I finally decided to try it. Instead of trying to use the 'as seen on tv' products to restore your trim like I have, give this a try! All you need is a heat gun and some time. If you try this be sure to keep the heat gun a few inches away from the trim, also don't move too slow or fast. Too slow it will burn the plastic, too fast and you'll have to go over it again. Check out the results!

All this really does is slightly melt the outer plastic to make it appear shinier.
I'll be interested to see how long it last!
