I have the chrome magnaflow cat backs. It always gets discolored. So what I did was leave the exterior in chrome. I then painted the interior of the pipe with high temperature flat black. I have only done one. Yay or ney?

Looks good, but not sure it will keep the exterior from getting discolored ? I'd just scuff up & paint the exterior too.

Your rear valance looks like it need some serious TLC :eek: that AZ sun has sure taken it's toll !!

Yeah great for no rust. But on plastics not so good. I will put some wet sand paper on the chrome and apply the high temp. Paint. Then give the valance some tlc. :)

I've been using 303 Protectant on all those grey plastic bits & mine still look like new. FL sun & humidity take their toll as well if it's left untreated.

So that is a protectant. What is a good restorer before putting on the protectant?

I've used this for bits that are really weathered:

Might have to apply a few times, then wait a week, then lite wash with good quality car soap then the 303.
I like those microfiber covered sponges for applying (fairly heavy) & then a lite wipe with a MF cloth to 'level' & remove excess.
I try to let the car sit for 24 hours before exposing to the elements if possible.
