Rust-Oleum Trim and Bumper Paint Review

I have used Rustoleum truck bed coating on plastic trim in the past. It gives it a flat look and it adds non skid texture. The initial application took about 4-5 years before it started pealing/ got faded.

Nice job! I'm restoring a 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 and just had the front bumper powder coated with a shinny hammered look, which looks fantastic. Now I'm trying to determine what to use on the plastic ends of the bumper and will consider the Rust-Oleum, but some people tell me the Forever Black works just as well if not better. It is not a spray, it has a square foam tip and when you squeeze the bottle the form gets wet and you apply it. It too looked great when I was finished.

[@Sorrow217]

I've used forever black and after about a year it faded. 3 coats on my rear caps on my 00' XJ

[@JA-rn5qv]

The Forever black works great for "instant" results but like some many other products of it's kind, only lasts about a year or less. The Rustoleum Trim & Bumper Paint will last 3 to 4 years before needing a refresh or even longer if you apply a UV resistant clear top coat after you have applied the Trim & Bumper paint.

[@jsanbr]

Incredible transformation!

[@mickeyflynn1954]

my last three vans all had large parts of dark grey plastic trim all around the bodywork, I've always used either black boot polish or carpride back to black type products but after a few trips driving about in the rain it always just wore off and all the trim always looked just as bad as it was before, I found this out by accident recently the last time I cleaned my latest van, I'de ran out of Mr Sheen and boot polish but had a bottle of white spirit and a half bottle of Boiled Linseed oil in the shed so I wiped all the plastic trim down with the white spirit using about half a roll of paper kitchen towel to get rid of all the dirt and tar spots and rubbed it all over with the boiled linseed oil using a microfibre cloth... the best result I've had to date. cost me £2 for the bottle of white spirit and a microfibre cloth from Poundland & £4.80 for the bottle of Boiled Linseed oil from my local Seagers store with still loads left left in the bottle.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Mickey Flynn Thanks for the I info! I have some linseed oil I use on wood rifle stocks I refinish. So far the paint though is holding up great.

[@stephenjordan7647]

nice video I'm getting ready to start my wipers arms,window trim ,bumper pads etc.

[@ScottPBrown]

I've used it I used to put three coats on and then one or two coats of usually flat clear enamel and that enamel seems to it's clear coat you know so it seems to really keep the UV fading away I think I've done one that's 10 years old now and it still looks good

[@JA-rn5qv]

Yeah a clear top coat can definitely extend the life of the paint and especially when the clear coat has a UV blocker.

[@MartinSage]

Instead of primer I used fine wet/dry sandpaper. Used several light coats. You want to see the old come through on the first coat. Light is Right

[@MeanBee392]

Wow they turned out so nice! I am wondering the same thing about if there is any difference between it and normal paint. Also really curious how it will hold up but personally it’s paint so it should hold up good! The Jeep looks so much nicer especially from the back with black plastic trim is stead of the faded plastic! Great video brother!

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

MeanBee392 it did turn out good! Better then I thought it would. I also think it will last a while since it’s paint. Thanks brother

[@jaypierson9441]

It is simply a paint but with a priming additive. Plastic surfaces are usually rough anyway so there won't be as any issues with adhesion. I was using this stuff on my truck to paint the bumper covers and bed rail covers. It wasn't a full can so I ran out. I was able to finish with the same brand black in satin finish paint. It is all still holding up the same

DeckofReason You are welcome! The Jeep has held up awesome over the last 2 years.

[@robbonaiuto3501]

It takes significantly longer but I always recommend rubbing the surfaces down quite well with very fine steel wool. It’s create micro scratches, unseeable, but gives anchor points for the paint. Also, make sure you alcohol the crap outta the plastic first to rmeive waxes and oils. Especially if you’ve used something like back to black in the previous 6 months.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

@@robbonaiuto3501 Nothing wrong with doing it that way. Doing it the way I did it I got 4 years out of it which I was happy with.

How does it last against sun, when you leave your car outside

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

The Jeep has never been kept in the garage and it has held up well. After close to four years it’s just starting to show sign of wear.

[@JA-rn5qv]

Depends on where you live but if you want even more resistance to the sun you can finish with a UV resistant top clear coat. I know someone who used this product and finished with several coats of a UV resistant clear coat and it's still good 10 years later, even with regular sun exposure. Even if you don't use the UV resistant clear top coat, you can expect about 3 to 4 years before you can see fading and then you can just srpay the pieces again. But if you want the longest lasting results then go with the UV resistant clear top coat.

[@xdevenx1]

Was looking at this today and wondering how it worked. Thanks for the video, guess I got trim on 2 durangos to paint.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

So I replied to this comment earlier and thought is was a different video of mine. This stuff works great. It’s been over a year and it still looks just as good as the day I did it. If it’s trim on the car you will have to mask off before painting.

You can use a heat gun on low to bring the oils back to the surface of the plastic, then with 303 to uv protect it so it lasts way longer than rattle canning it.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

[@MrRedex88]

I tried it on my Chevy. It did bring it back but it didn't hold up well. When I tried a dressing after using the heat gun method the plastic didn't take the dressing anymore so I pretty much runed them. They looked great when I first did it though.

[@GolfingwithKDOGG]

Can you use white instead of black ? Looking to get rid of the old faded plastic look on bumper and color match somewhat

[@JA-rn5qv]

Yes you absolutely can. You need to clean the bumper very well first. I like to use soapy water to start, rinse very well and allow to dry. Then clean it again with isopropyl alcohol or Sprayaway glass cleaner and allow to dry thoroughly, For the white paint you can use Rustoleum 2X Gloss White spray paint. Do 2 or 3 initial light coats, leaving about 10 minutes dry time in between each light coat followed by a final coat which you will go a bit slower so as to allow a little more paint to stick to the surface, just becareful it's not too much to cause the paint to run. It will take several days for the paint to dry well. You can apply a clear coat if you want to but it's not completely necessary for bumpers. Just keep in mind that the Rustoleum Gloss White might not be an exact match for the white color of your car. If you want an exact match for the color of your car then you can order cans of premixed car paint that is matched to the color of your car paint. You will just need the paint code for that which is on a label, usually somewhere in your engine bay or on of the door frames.

MR.4-4-85 Thanks but I am far from a professional sprayer! 😂 It is still holding up great. I check it everytime I wash and it still looks like I just did it. You are welcome

Rust oleum is underrated. It can last a really long time in most cases

How has it lasted ? 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

2 years later and it still looks like I just painted it.

[@angelamelville67]

[@mimikyuthepokemon3489]

Hey man nice video. How would you paint an exhaust tip a gloss black or chrome black ?

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Mimikyu The Pokemon Thanks! You will need a high temperature paint like engine paint in gloss black. That’s how I would do it.

[@brettpeckinpaugh]

Not heard good things about chemical guys VRP, seen a few tests on Jeep plastic and it didn't get that black and it wore away quick.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

Yes VRP won’t last long. This is the best way to go

[@MartinSage]

Rustolium makes consistent quality paint. Dog nails will mark any paint though

[@truckphitruck]

I want to use this on my xterra. Would you prime it first or do you think I can spray it straight on like you did. I just don't want it to peel off later.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

It’s been 3 years and mine is just starting to fade again. Mine never peeled or anything. It’s really good stuff

[@jaydenogburn4550]

is it gonna look matte or glossy

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

It’s a matte finish

Heat gun works really well at bringing the color back

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

MrJeffreywhp I just watched a video on that a few days ago!

[@MrJeffreywhp]

@@FABAutomotiveDetailing been doing it for years in the body shop

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

MrJeffreywhp How long does it last before fading again?

Do I have to remove my bumper? To do this method? I have a 2001 Nissan Xterra and my Bumper is Faded on the front

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

You could remove it or mask everything off around it you don’t want painted or overspray on.

[@tinalashay2498]

Ok thanks so much for the advice
