Default How to "dye" the bumpers?

I was reading a thread about a guy who said he "dyed" he bumpers and exterior moulding back to black.

I am wondering if anyone has an idea of how to do this?
(I am assume this is something more than just doing armor-all, back-to-black or something like that on your bumpers)

Thanks in advance

fyr,
Not sure.... I mean the guy actually said "dye" the bumper.
Personally, I wouldnt consider wipe new or back to black a "dye" but a conditioner or a dressing.

PHB,
Thanks. I will look into that.


I know that some of the moulding on other vehicles, you can take a heat gun and "express" the color back out of the plastic... so I thought that it was possible with this

As much as everyone rants and raves about Griots, it's junk also. It look awesome when I first did it but the rear bumper looks horrible again....

Thanks for the heads up LJ.
I am definitely one that hates to waste money... especially in this economy.
So would you have any recommendations?
