Re: Black plastic trim restoration (bumpers, mirror housing, etc)
I would hit it with an automotive scouring pad followed by 3000 grit paper then follow up with a matte bumper paint. I would skip the clear

Thank you for the idea. What brand/type of matte bumper paint? Never used one before. Something I can get at the hardware store?

To be totally honest I don't have a brand name for you
Google "Automotive Paint & Supplies & Your City" and see what results you get. This is where your going to want to go to get all of your supplies nesecary for this job
Good luck and post up some pics man

Thank you for your help.
I've done it before, just can't remember the name of the brand.
Actually, I've been planning on doing my own car for sometime now. Maybe 2011 will be the year it gets done. Who knows. I kinda doubt it though...

Re: Black plastic trim restoration (bumpers, mirror housing, etc)
A quick fix that works pretty well, but is kind of risky, is using a heat gun on the trim. Turns it around pretty well for a good length of time.
I've seen people say that they easily get 6 months to a year of quality look by doing this.
