Fading Black Trim

[Dallas_95GT]

On my '95, the black trim that goes around the side windows is starting to fade. You can see the picture the trim that I am talking about. It's more of a hard plastic trim, not rubber. I've tried Mothers Back to Black, it works, but only for a few days. Any suggestions on how to get this trim black again? I've thought about trying to repaint it with some Krylon Fusion black paint, just not sure how much luck I'd have with getting it to stay on there and look good.

If a product like "back to black" doesn't work then I'd say you're either looking at painting it or replacing it. In the picture it looks fine but I think I know what you're talking about--it's slowly getting lighter and lighter on my car as well :(

Yeah, funny thing is....that picture was taken about 6 months ago, from then until now, it has gotten a lot worse. From other projects I've done, I think Krylon Fusion would work great, it's just a matter of taping everything off.

Or you could pull the mouldings off, paint them and re-affix them to the car afterwards...
