dont spray them black, cos it will come off when you wash car specially if you use a jet washer, the previous owner of my corsa had painted them and it took me 3 hours jet washing it off only to look all grey again, i will be colour coding soon

Why do the arches go grey and the bumpers don't. I found that really odd on my car when it had the standard bumpers on it.

i use the (aerosole) stuff on my tyres and engine plastics. If you use it on arches i suggest u cover up any bodywork because you cant buff it out and will stay on until you wash the car again. Same with glass.
