Removing oxidation from Cobra trailer trim rubber and plastic fenders
I have an older Cobra with rubber trim strip (bottom edge of trailer top),
originally nice shiny red, now a bit dark and dull. Anybody have a proven technique for getting the color back? Similar for fenders? Thanks, Best Regards, Dave |

Removing oxidation from Cobra trailer trim rubber and plastic fenders
Hi Dave:
On my Nimbus I masked the trim and hit it with Krylon brand "Fusion" spray paint. It bonds to plastic well. Also - Spindleberger sells replacement trim if you like. Roy |

Removing oxidation from Cobra trailer trim rubber and plastic fenders
I did what Roy did, knock off the crud with wire brush and 80 grit sandpaper, then mask and shoot with rattle-can, changed to blue. I used 2" tape on top and a 3 foot piece of cardboard below the lip.......spraying 2 foot at a time with the can aimed down 45 degrees. I'm buffing the glass top now........good winter projects.

Curious - why blue instead of red?Â* Something to do with solar radiation?
