Looking to compare sheen on the black exterior parts, specifically fenders. I know Landau Black is suggested with the SEM low luster varnish but I don’t recall there being that glossy of a look. Thanks!
Have you tried treating the plastics before you go to the extreme step of repainting? Try some 303 protectant. IMO, it does a good job of bringing the color back without repainting. No, it doesn’t last forever, but it’s part of a regular wash cycle. To me, it looks much more natural that anything paint can do. I’ve repainted fenders before and it was my experience that it doesn’t last and will need to be redone in time. A quick wipe with a restoring liquid is much simpler than a removal and respray.
Yes, I’ve done the 303 but these babies are very sun faded. They’re already removed
What color is your Jeep? If it's Khaki (like mine in profile pic) It might have the grey flares, which look like severely faded black flares...

Stock black flares have no shine to them.Yeah it’s khaki — but mine didn’t come with gray flares. They were definitely black

Stock black flares have no shine to them.
p.s. One of my khaki Jeeps had khaki factory flares. Still no shine.

Is the SEM you're referring to? It's the one I have bookmarked if I ever get around to repainting my flares.

This stuff worked great on a pair of faded black mirror I picked up fo half doors. It doesn't leave any greasy or slippery film on the plastic either.

Here’s the landau black with low luster varnish. I still recall mine being more matte from the factory
