My arches are so badly faded I don't think auto glym bumper care would do any thing to them I'm going to spray them I think.

What do I need to do before putting the matt black on? What grit wet n dry, and do I need primer?

I've never done any paintwork at all but it shouldn't be to hard.

Then go over them lightly with a heat gun and you can bring them back to nearly new!
