tryied the heat gun method on the back and it went a bit pair shaped who ever has had the car b4 has used some sort of cheap turdy paint on the dork grey bit so now it looks patchy so ill be getting the tinns out on sat
1 good thing is the front came out spot on but think i will have to repaint both to keep the colour matched i guess it was worth a try and many thanks to freaky fingures for the lend of the gun think the next gun ill need is a shoot gun for the previous owner who bodged it up never mind these things were sent to try us all lol

my t5 is the same colour as yours, the bumpers are light grey now and i would like them darker, somebody ran up my arse two years ago, and the repair shop must have painted the back bumper ,as it looks bad and patchy now which paint do you recommend buddy........

there is a paint shop near me that sells plastic paint its flexible and very good ill have to find out prices but ill let you know any good car paint supplier should sell textured plastic paint
but i will be doing mine in dark grey
or if im feeling brave ill get them to mix up some red for me and colour code them

Why dont you try the kiwi shoe polish as i suggested earlier....if this does not work then i suggest everything you are trying has an allergy against the paint on the bumper....
