Hi All,

I thought I'd share some info about reconditioning plastic trim on LR3 Disco. Ive used a bunch of different products in the past and they have all been average and run on the paint and fade after a few weeks.
I saw someone recommend Forever Black dye. I found a large bottle on amazon au for $60.
This stuff is great, super impressed. I didnt get the applicator with the dye , i picked up some foam paint applicators from hardware store.
I ended up putting 2 coats on as my first coat was to think and streaky. So when you put it on just keep the applicator moist. I taped in the trim as it was easier than cleaning every mistake. The dye will stay on the paint work but comes off easily even when dry.
I put on and then went back 5 min later with an old tee shirt to smooth out any streaks. Some photos in attachment. Good Luck!163977

Looks like a good result. You could also try Bowden's Own Mr Black, which is an Australian made and developed product. I've been testing it on my Discovery since May last year and it's still holding up great. Also made a massive difference to the faded windscreen cowling.

Mines a D4 but you get the idea.

I have been using Solution Finish which looks like a similar product. Lasts months instead of until the next wash or heavy shower.
