Plastic wheel well dye
 

So, what is the one area of our cars that can really make the whole car look used and worn? The wheel well areas!

Dressings don't last and most paints will chip and just aren't meant for wheel well duty. I have tried the plastic dye Forever Black in the past (on my '85 Corvette) and unfortunately, that isn't the correct fix either due to streaking and being too glossy on the non-porous hard plastic surfaces of the front wheel liners.

Well (excuse the pun), I have found the product that is the answer to our problems! As stated in another thread, I actually bought the product, but then used it on a non Corvette project with excellent results.

The product is made by Eastwood and is called Plastic Resurfacer. Here is the link:

Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned and prepped the surfaces for best results. Another member's wheel well refinishing project reminded me of my own experience and I just wanted to pass this along to someone's benefit. Maybe a nice winter project for a few of you?

Hi Paul! If you are talking about the fender liner panels/fender tops attached to the hood, perfect, as this is meant for that as well as the rear liners. Basically any plastic that needs to be re-dyed (with the semi-flat or matte look).

If you are talking about the painted underside of the actual hood, that won't work (the underside of the hood is painted. This Eastwood product isn't paint).

Now, if you want an almost dead on match for the underhood paint...I am talking NCRS dead on match, then go to your local John Deere dealer and pick up a can of John Deere "Blitz Black". I have been told about it, used it, and agree. The only problem is if you use it on the underside of the hood in the wheel well area next to the wheel well liners (wheel arches of under hood where stones typically take the paint off). I think you will need a paint with a hardener in it to resist paint chips. Of course if you aren't afraid to touch it up when needed, Blitz Black works!
