Default Door Trim??

I just got a new paint job and it makes my door trim and lip kits look old. Is there any way to redo them? like paint or something? because im not about to buy new pieces. Thanks... Here is a picture of the car with new paint on it:

try plastic polish or tire shine. the gel versin of tire shine works best to brighten them up for a little while. probly once a month u will need to do it though

I used Duplicolor trim paint from autozone for my window trim and the cowel. Looks as good as new. Just make sure you prep the pieces first.
