I read on a truck forum that a little heat from a heatgun will bring them back. Not to sure if it works though, but if someone knows more about it let me know

I have marked this thread for observation. When I look at it again tonight, if the peanut butter comments are still there, there will be a couple of new permanently banned members.

Or replace... that would be my suggestion. It depends on how picky you are. Of course replacement would be the perfect solution but if you are trying to save a little cash and are not picky as hell trim paint will do all you need it to
