Does anybody know what product I could use to dye the rear C pillars black again on a P38? Some of the colour has rubbed off and looks a bit of a mess.
Thanks
 
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 lines

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

That's two votes for kiwi now.

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

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