why not get those and then just take some time with some paint thinner and clean them up some?

A good thinner to take the paint off is a start, acetone in moderation works well. Use a tooth brush to get into the cracks. When you have it stripped, ise a good plasic prep, I use SEM 38353, wipe it off with a rag. Next, a plastic primer, Bulldog is a good product, but you can use any "quality" plastic primer such as Dupli-Color, also called adhesion promoters. Final coat should be a good quality plastic/vinyl paint, SEM makes a good product, SEM Lanau Black (15013) matches the factory Honda black VERY closely.

As with any paint job, its all in the prep work. Any of the products I mentioned can be found at a auto body supply paint store. Use multiple thin coats with the above mentioned process and products and the paint will stick like **** on a blanket.
