Black plastic bits 'Back to Black'
I've got a K3 and the black plastic bits have faded. Anyone know a good way to bring them back to black? I tried some Simonez 'Back to Black' and it didn't work at all.

Its a pretty good match for the plastics, so maybe a light coat of paint on them would work?

Re: Black plastic bits 'Back to Black'
WD40 normally get's them back to black. Just spray on a cloth and rub in.
As with all the 'back to black' type products you'll need to do it again but it's a damn site cheaper. Ste

When I was storing the bike last winter,I sprayed the bike with ACF-50,I noticed it brought all the black plastic back to life.

Re: Black plastic bits 'Back to Black'
Don't know if you can still get it now but try and get some 'black chrome' it's by far the best stuff I've used.
It's a black gel / cream that really works. |
