the vw folks swear by black kiwi shoe dye, it only lasts a couple months, but it looks good in the mean time, is cheap, and is easy to apply.

I painted mine with some of whats called trim and bumper paint from the local parts store. It looks like I have brand new trim all around :D and it has already lasted me 9 months. Check it out

check it out here but disregard the middle duck tape trim
