I have used the super fine wet sand process which works but as you mentioned it will appear dull. You "might" be able to bring back the shine using a buffer

back to black wont bring the shine back if you wetsand it. i usually just replace exterior trim if its still available. usually prices arent to bad .

Dupli-color makes a trim paint that makes plastic and vinyl pieces look good. Ive used it on my door panels, rear plastic trim, dash board. They also make an exterior paint that works on trim too.

Im using the dupli-color stuff now. It works great. I have already painted my side skirts, side molding, mud flaps and wiper blades.
