you have to use what color your trim was. its not for changing colors.

Its a Plastic dye, so it dont just cover it. here is is used on some ranger fender flares:

Video shows it best. Practice before you do this in a highly visible part of your truck

ShineOn Black Trim & Bumper Coating

Michael Williams here. I'm one of the partners at UFB Coatings where we development and manufacture specialty automotive coatings for exterior black & trim plastics and bumpers. I am biased - they're Un-Freaking-Believable! Take a gander, please.

While I appreciate the posting & I'm sure your product is fine, like the other similar products that last "up to a year" it is really not cost effective in comparison to using plastic specific dye or paint.

My method is pretty simple, cheap and easy. Just apply some WD40 via a cloth, paper towel or rag. Plastic seems to absorb it, leaving it shiny and looking like new. Use it on black motorcycle and truck plastic with great results.
