Plastic wheel well dye - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

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?
