The plastics on my KLX have faded and where there have been decals they are now 2 shades of green.

Is there anyway of restoring them to their former glory or will I have to shell out for new ones?

Someone said to try Jif (sorry Cif) ?

t-cut probably won't work... not unless yo're cutting DEEP into the plastic.

t-cut works by taking a thin layer off the surface.. the colour fades from plastics much deeper than just a thin layer as it's caused by UV penetrating the plastics.

there's not really a quick and easy way of restoring plastic colouring that I know of.

sory
