Salted_Venom Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Does anyone have ideas on how to restore the striping? I bought a 2014 and they look terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeinAZ Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Flat black, thought they were supposed to look like that? Try ebay first. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry muskat Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 What about the silver stripes ? Do you know of anything for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of anything for them Your best solution is to replace them with painted stripes. Solves the problem permanently. Not cheap, but the best way to go. Pretty sure once the silver stripes go, there's no bringing them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noac Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I would try to polish them with a foam pad and a mild polish. I would not suggest working by hand. Use a da polisher. Working by hand will introduce micromarring. If you are uncomfortable using a machine polisher, I would have the whole car paint corrected by a professional who understands what the term paint correction means. Any 5 year old black car with miles on it could definitely benefit by a professional paint correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoChris Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I've used Adam products for a number of years and really like them. Tried Groit's a few years ago and switched back to Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Johnston Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Been succssfully using Adams VRT for years on wifes' Kona blue 2011 Mustang GT with black vinyl satin stripes. Other products leave swirl marks or haze. My Shelby stripes are painted. 😎 Edited April 24, 2019 by 66GT350PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
