Restore Faded Black Moldings on Your Car



If your car is like the three 4th gen. f-body’s outside my house, then the black area between the windshield and the hood is probably pretty faded and giving your car a somewhat worn look, which i personally don’t like.

So, here is the cure:

Materials:
-Bondo restore black – around $10
-masking tape
-small foam brush

This is always something that has irritated me after washing the car and then having to look at that faded plastic. So, I was in wal-marts auto section going through some things and came across this stuff. I bought it to do the t-tops, but i ended up doing this first. I was skeptical, but it worked so good I’ll be using it for all of the black trim around the windows, the t-tops, and anywhere else I can.

As you can see, you will need to tape off the entire area, so as not to get it on the pained surfaces and keep it off of the glass. Also, check the pics to see the foam brush i used. this did not come with the kit. the kit came with a much larger foam pad that is too big to use effectively, so I’d recommend getting one. You should be able to find it in the paint or arts/crafts department of stores like walmart or michaels. Luckily i had it at the house.

I just drizzled some on the surface and then spread it around. Once you start using it you’ll find what works best for you.

And the finished product, I pulled the car out of the garage so you can get a good look.
