I am looking for permanent solution to restore the black trims on my car, I have used the car care black trim products but find that it just fades away after a couple of washes over time. Wondering if just spray painting them black would work or if it's just a waste of time?
If anyone has done anything like this before or knows of any better solutions I would like to hear them.
Faded black trim

I have used Turtle Wax "Jet Black" with good results. Has lasted over 10 months so far. Try that out first.

What sort of prep work would be involved with that?
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille
Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

Cheers.
Scrubbed the dash with a scourer and soapy water. Let it dry. Masked up everything. Gave it several light coats. Made wife cranky for spending time in garage instead of entertaing her. Gave it several more coats. Pulled newspaper and tape down. Sat back and admired my ham-fisted abilities.
Holding up rather well at the moment. Needs a wipe down but as its started to get a bit of dust building up on it. In saying that, its not driven much due to a company work ute, and the wifes gen 4 is normally the grocery getter. Boobs bounce too much in my car. Hers and mine.
