The grey parts of my truck like the side molding and bumper are starting to fade and get a whitish tint to them... anyone know how to revive the grey / shinier look to the plastic?

I just removed it all and replaced it with black powder coated steel.

I believe some other people have found a plastic paint that works, and others have found penetrating dyes, etc.

I saw from another post something that i'm considering. Taking the pieces to a truck shop and have them sprayed with Bed liner.
