Right my mate bought a star silver 1.2 corsa for a very cheap price and its actually in the projects section aswell but thought id post this in here...

His arches and bumpers were that white they were almost colour coded See the picture below,



After going over them with the heatgun they looked like this And this was with no back to black or anything !







Excuse the poor picture's we were stugling for light.

I reckon about 30 - 40 mintues, litrally every arch and bumper was practically the same colour as the car

i did that over a year ago and ive been advising it over bumper gel ever since, cos bumper gel covers the crap thats already made it greay, whereas the heatgun burns it off

so what exactly do you do then just hold the heat gun over it and wait till it turns black, what temperature do you use and does it only work with heat guns or anything else like hair dryers. sorry if it sound a bit stupid

Hair dryer i dont think would be hot enough, just hold it very close and watch it turn black simple as that, we rubbed water over the part before we did it just toget it cool so it didnt warp etc..
