So I've finished off the work on this, happy with the end result!
For anyone interested, I just completely sanded down the bits back to remove all of the peeling grey bits and then a few (3 or 4) coats of black satin spray paint (sanding down with 400 paper in between each coat).
Decided to go with satin lack as I'm changing many of the car bits to black.
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions!

By time it comes to the next owner it should be covered in brambles camouflaged in its environment .
such is the way

Out of interest, I was looking at tidying up some of this horrible silver paint as well, I wasn't planning to go to these lengths though, I was thinking about just taking a heat source to the silver and helping peel it back to base plastic, I assumed it would be black anyway, what is it like when you take that silver off or is it just a sticky mess?

Underneath its a matt black, not sticky at all, once you've got the grey peel off it just needs sanding down a bit and the new paint goes on well, 3 or 4 coats seemed to do it.
The grey paint came off easy in parts, I found it useful to get a bit off amd then carefully use a razor blade and that shifted it quickly.
