HI,

I wouldn't paint mine, I like the contrast between the Black and Guards Red, the car, IMHO, needs a color break at the rear.

The thing to do is to first clean them using denatured alcohol on a rag to remove any previous dressing, road grime, detergent, and open up the pores in the material. Then, I use McGuire's #40 Vinyl Dressing, usually 2 coats. I have also used Black Again (the original formula, no longer made, but I have 2 btls. squirrelled away). The Black Again does a good job, but the McG #40 lastst longer and gives a deeper and flatter Black...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
