DO NOT, EVER, use electrical wire tapeif you have other faded or non-salvageable black parts to refurbish and don't want to get it painted or the hassle of painting it yourself, needing to remove/mask the area, use vinyls!get:-Matt/Flat black vinyl stickers from the sign shop, cut them in strips depending on width of trim, the longer the strips the better.-Hair dryer-Expired credit card/ plastic card-sandpaper-clothSteps:-Don't have to remove the trims, get it cleaned if it's smooth, if it's not smooth, get it sanded and then cleaned.-Get a strip of vinyl, lay it at one of the ends, lay it done end first.-Fold the edges down. -When arriving at the curves and such, use hairdyer. warm it, stretch it a little, and lay.-Remember to overlap the next strip, probably 2-3mms to prevent gaps. (vinyls shrink a little under the sun, 1-2mms max throughout lifetime)-blah blah blah, you're done.enjoy.CheersTom</p></blockquote><p></p>
