I’m planning to try and bring life back to an older Nissan Xterra. The massive amount of textured trim was a dark dark grey when new, but there is a few small areas of black. Seems like a lot of folks highly recommend Solution Finish for heavily weathered and faded trim. Have a few questions on my plan of attack
where the large front and rear bumpers are basically all textured plastic, how much solution finish is needed? Seems like a little goes a long way, but there’s a massive amount of plastic trim on these SUV’s. Where it has a small amount of black trim also, I’m thinking I could just buy black and apply it to all trim where the original grey was very dark, dark grey anyway. Any idea what using Black SF over grey trim looks like? The paint is dark grey, so I don’t care if the trim was black or dark grey.
second question, the roof rack/box is also textured grey and faded. It has Nissan white lettering. I’m thinking I cannot just smear Solution Finish over it, so maybe removing it all together is easiest and best, but then under the lettering is likely a different stage of fade/weathering. Suggestions!
last, i was going to apply DLUX over it, but read it won’t take. However I seem to recall reading if I wait a month after applying Solution Finish, DLUX would take and perform fairly well. Any benefits of applying a coating after allowing a Period for Solution Finish to cure and start deteriorating?
