If the plastic is just faded you can use a heat gun to bring the dark black color back. Just did it on a bumper piece on my mother in laws compass and it looks brand new

I actually tried that on the running board pieces and it didn’t work on the Denali style textured areas. It almost ruined it, definitely had to paint afterward. It turned the textured raised areas grayish.
Strange? Almost positive the video I watched back in the day was a guy doing it on a Denali rear bumper
I could be wrong tho lol

Well, I tried it. The edges started turning grey almost immediately and stayed that way after it cooled. I tried it on 2 pieces. I’ve had luck on smooth or textured pieces but there’s something about those raised ovals. I guess once again it’s a Denali thing lol.

I got the RH rear bumper pad today and just like I thought it was brand new, never been installed. Ace was out of the Krylon Dual Bond paint I use for plastic so I ordered their Fusion which is better IMO. That’s for the lower center plastic. For now I used Silk Shine on it. I might leave it as is, looks pretty good. I’ll hold on to the old pads, they might be worth something some day when you can’t find new ones at ANY price.

Congrats on that TOTQ win!! The BEAST is a unique piece of machinery for sure.
That pup would make it 3 in my house if the kids saw that. sheesh..cute as all get out!!
The new front end illumination looks great along with the HU and pads. Need to pull my rears off and give them a fresh touch. On my hit list. Just flat out looking good!!
