In the past I was against painting the louvers because I wanted to retain the texture. I used a lot of the liquid black restore products but I found that all of them are very temporary and only last a few days or weeks, or a few washes. They also turn the surface into flypaper. So if you live in a dusty area or with a lot of pollen then you have to wash them a lot. Conclusion - I hate to admit it but repainting is the best. - Videobob >From: "Jake Kamphoefner" <jakekamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subject: Re: [DML] Re-blackening black >Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 00:40:12 -0500 > >Ryan, > >When I get that "not so fresh" feeling about my black plastic, I use some >spray on stainless polish.
