I know we have been through this before but has anybody found a good
treatment to regain the black color back in the plastic fender flares?
I tried the heat gun and it worked for about 3 months. has anybody
tried "Forever Black from 4wd.com?

A product you can get in paint stores called "Penetrol" works very well and
is easy to apply.  I did the heat gun thing and ended up with green
blotches!

I just went to the hardware store and got spray paint for plastic.
Look's really good.

I use this stuff,
it's been recommended by others in this forum. 303 protectant. It's
brought my flares back to black and I use it on all my trim and
interior.

"Forever" in the case of Forever Black means about a week. :)

  ...or until the first wash.  I've had reasonable luck with ordinary
  black plastic based outdoor paint.  I used a round stiff artist
  style brush to apply it so it has a stippled surface rather than
  looking like cheap paint.

  Well, of course.  They don't stink if you wash them off in the
  nearest creek every now and then.

I've had good luck with Armorall and a similar, silicone based product
that claims to restore flat black surfaces.

I can't remember the name of the "black restorer", but I bought it in
the wax section of a local Advance Auto parts store.  It was either a
Mother's or Mequires product.

I just let all the products soak in and wipe off the excess.

Dave,
Check out this old post. Two years out and still looks like new despite
Minnesota weather.
