Fixing cowl plastic trim

[robdelorenzo]

Thanks for this.
With wet weather coming up, this is something that I need to deal with also.
If I can avoid buying a new one and spray painting the old one black and using your trick, that would be great.

To get the grey out, I coated mine in silicon fluid, and it looks good for now.

I may yet take it out and paint it with Rustoleum 7777 satin black. I have done this on my Saab Aero and it has looked good for years.

Thinned linseed oil work well too for black plastic pieces that are weathered.
