Re: [DML] Re-blackening black

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have actually repainted mine using a black bumper paint it drys a 
satin colour with a texture that looks like unpainted plastic 
bumpers. In fact most people think my louvre is brand new... i just 
wash it and leather it off now.

Cleaned and primed it first using a plastic bumper primer ( red 
colour ) All resprayed whilst it was hanging from wires from my 
garage roof.
