Default Faded Front and Rear Bumper (black)

I was wondering if any of you knew of a chemical that would restore the black painted front and rear bumper of my car, the clearcoat wore off and the top of the bumper's paint is starting to crack and fade... also have tons of bug and rock chips on the front bumper... ideas?

Once the clear coat is gone your done. There is really nothing you can do but repaint. However, you can put wd40 on it and it will look shiny but it will only last like a day or two.

Thanks! I was going to give a paint kit a shot that I found at ww.automotivetouchup.com (aerosol kit) its gonna cost around 70 bucks with all the equipment needed to fix. I figured why not it cant look worse than whats on it now! Thanks again for the help!

Some paint shops offer like 100 buck deals on bumper repaints. They will also match it will the rest of your car. Just a thought you might want to look around and if you do all the prep work, supper easy cause it just the bumpers, then it will be even cheaper! Painting takes a lot of skill, especially if your trying to match the bumpers with the rest of the car. GL!!!
