Question
Is there a product to renew besides Armorall? ..a paint for black rubber trim on bumpers and body molding...
(91 S10 Blazer)..thanks

Answer
There are many aerosol can trim black products out there that will work nicely. My preference is Euro-black from Premier, but it's hard to find. Dupli-color surely has a semi-gloss trim black paint. Be sure to remove ALL armor all from the moldings with some wax and grease remover, then let the moldings blanch out overnight before painting. Use a plastic adhesion promoter before spraying the black-  you might only find it in a professional parts store such as Big A or Napa. You might get lucky and find it in an aerosol can at Auto zone, but I have my doubts. Bill
