I am assuming you are referring to the vinyl portion? If so I use Kiwi liquid shoe polish, works a treat and cheap

I used satin spray paint for plastic in a rattle can.

Hi Keith, I have done that to all of my other black plastic trims and so far they look bang tidy, I didn't risk it on the vinyl bit just in case. The black satin plastic paint is a much better solution to all of these "Back to Black" formulas (including wurth albeit a wurthy product.....
Would that be something like this I suppose:

Could work I would imagine, but due to bad experiences in the past I have steered clear of painting the Vinyl, I have just used Kiwi and so far so good 4 years in, I apply it a couple of times a year. Saves the hassle of masking and leaving masked linesWould that be something like this I suppose:

For all the other trim, I was planning on using Solution Finish trim restorer. It says it works on vinyl, but it's not a dye, so if my vinyl has lost it's colour, I don't think Solution finish can fix it. So the paint idea is probably the way to go on the vinyl.Hi Keith, I have done that to all of my other black plastic trims and so far they look bang tidy, I didn't risk it on the vinyl bit just in case.

What I don't know is how well it will work on really faded plastic. Front door handles for example are almost white.

Another vote for Kiwi. Even did faded door handles with it once a year and it lasted well.

The C pillars are not vinyl, under the surface the are a kind of yellow plastic foam, they are some sort of moulding.

Looks like it should work, the stuff I used was from the supermarket just labled "paint for plastic".Would that be something like this I suppose:

Yes I agree. The p38 I bought recently had had a full respray, and they have obv removed the c pillar plastic and resprayed
