TPE Hood Protector

Paint it. What do you have to lose?

That was going to be my solution, but I was going to use bedliner spray paint. Instead I bought the Ford/Lund/Husky during the Ford Accessory sale and used my soon-to-expire Ford points. It took longer to clean off the old adhesive than installing the new one. I did see someone else recently took theirs off and there was gunk underneath it. There was very little underneath my old TPE one and before I installed the new one I added some single-sided tape weatherstriping to the upper gaps between the double-sided tape, but left the lower gaps open for water to escape.

Hello,

If you encounter any fading problems with the tpe hood protector, please feel free to contact us at any time. You can send us the order number via PM, and our after-sales service will handle this issue. And our manufacturer informed us that the cause of the chemical reaction has been identified and is gradually being tested.

Similarly, spray painting is currently a temporary solution to this problem.

OK, Folks here is the final result for the Chinese hood protector As stated above my son is a 30+year helicopter tech. His suggestion was to use the SEM Trim Black, so that's what we did. The results speak for themselves. After washing twice with scotch brite and a good grease/oil remover then wiping down with alcohol we covered the little "Nanny" truck with plastic and proceeded to paint the hood protector.
I'm happy with the end result but the real test will be how well the SEM Trim Black holds up the Arizona desert heat and sun.

Bill so far how's your re-blackened deflector holding up?

So far, for the short time the SEM Trim has been on it's still looking good.

I was wondering if SEM would help in this situation?

Not sure just how much coverage one would get out of a can and it is kinda pricy. But probably not as much as a new cover.
