I get down to the Barnegat Jetty and a few other locations a few times through the summer and could easily hook up with him to try it out...

I saw this on YouTube a few months ago. Everyone I've read says it works and stays that way for a year or so before it needs to be done again. Looks like an effective, quick solution, as you can easily get into all the nooks and crannies with the flame. I'd probably do this over the spray paint, as you risk not getting it even, bubbling, peeling, or overspray onto something else.
Mine are painted, so I use a good coat of McGuires every month...

I applied a product called Forever Black on the fender flares of my LJ almost a year ago, and they are still a deep, matte black, even after rain, snow, and dozens of car washes. It was incredibly easy to apply, somewhat like black liquid shoe polish.

I tried the torch on my 07 fenders and it did not work. In fact it left a blemish area. I tried small amounts of heat, but it did not change the color. I am now looking for an alternate method. I am also looking for a way to bring back the shine on my front & rear powder coated bumpers.
