A good scrub with some degreaser, a wipe with some bumper prep, and then respray. Did my A-bar a while back and it looks great, paint bonded well and texture shows just like new.

Hi! Marnewton,
I have recently refurbished my tired old front grill (don't like the "sports grille" updates found on ebay....naff and expensive), so I found a great product on the net called "Plasticare".....it comes in a small bottle (enough for a few grilles), and costs about a tenner. It is a "thin paint" for want of a better description, and after thoroughly washing your grill (take it off the car), you apply the liquid with a soft cloth and/or a small paint brush to get in tight areas. It is available in several colours (I used black), and I also restored my black bumpers too....brilliant stuff, and does exactly what it says on the label. email them at: plasticare@yahoo.co.uk....or type "plasticare" into ebay.
I've got to say, it really works, and my grille still looks like new 3 months later.
Hope this helps.
Regards

i done mine yesterday, cleaned it, very light wipe with scotchbright, arsehole can of satin black, mask off badge and painted trim at bottom, if your doing it in a cold garage or somewhere else, get a heat gun/hair dryer to help dry after a coat, few coats and will look lovely, do the trim under the headlights as well to match
Very many thanks for the ideas guys (and apologies for the tardy response...intermittent internet...AGAIN) exactly what I was looking for. I'll let you know which way I go and how the results look. If I can tart up the light guards by the same method, so much the better
(I'm not keen on the 'sports grilles' either...or the Simmonites style 'upgrades'...original is best!)
Cheers, Martin

Use a heat gun ,heating it up will bring it back to show finish but dont over do it
