Last year I refurbished all my plastic grills, both front and rear, wiper arms and bumpers. I just used cans of satin black aerosol I got from the local motor factors. Cheap and easy but very satisfying refurb.

I resprayed mine with satin black, but first i stoned chipped them. Gave them a right good rub down first, stone chipped and then satin black. Looked mint when finished.

So simple but makes such a dramatic improvement in the look of the van I wished I had done it when I first got the van, instead of waiting for a year or so. Pound for Pound the best thing to do for a tired looking van apart from a good wash and wax.
