      I might have to try the paint route. the heat gun trick doesnt seem to be holding up long term.

          The Krylon should work decently too - Jeep guys use that on the unpainted flares quite often. The stuff bonds to plastic well.

                I've also used mothers back to black and Eagle trim restorer... they don;t seem to last that long though. i would imagine tire shine would work well also.

                  Mothers back to black looks great when done, I use it on my jeep which sits outside all summer and itll last a few months then has to be reapplied but I think if it was used on the camaro it would last a long time since its mostly in the garage

                    Yeah don't really use it much on my camaro as its low mile and kept out of the sun, but My Avalanche on the other hand needs alot on the rear, where the bed is. So... i've resorted to baby oil or tire shine which works pretty good and lasts a while, not to mention a whole lot cheaper lol

                        Hmmm -- speaking about tire shine on the plastics, I wonder how well the Duplicolor Tire Coat would work on the plastics..... it is a glossy clear coat, afterall....

                          Brian, does that dupli color stuff have a tint to it, or is it just a clear coat with a flex / adhesion promotor like a krylon?

                          If you spray it on a white sheet of paper, does it have color to it?

                          Might be worth trying out on some scrap trim.

                            Plasti-dip would work too. It holds up to weather great and is a semi-gloss/matte finish.
