2000 Explorer XLT

[Coastal Wayne]

Hi I am new to this forum. My dad gave me his 2000 Explorer and it is in very good shape however the grey trim is pretty faded and I am trying to find replacement moulding to replace the old ones however everything I look at is either discontinued or out of stock (permanently?) Anyone know where bumper parts etc can be still purchased? Tnx

I haven't but read a couple negative reviews on solution Gray fusion. I may give it a try as it seems buying replacement parts is proving difficult?impossible

Why not re paint the vinyl pieces? Some vinyl paints/ dyes on the market are very good

Many of us have updated the old faded grey plastics with. I’ve black vinyl paint or heck even go grey again

I wonder if plastic dip would be good for long term outdoor use. It comes in a spray can or a container to brush it on.

I'd try the darkest gray automotive vinyl dye rattle can paint you can find, but first I would take a very stiff brush to scrub as much oxidation off as possible, starting in an inconspicuous area in case it destroys the texture.
