Meguiars has a "back to black" that you put on every so often...keeps mine nice and black and shiny

Or you can remove and paint them

I heard shoe die for black shoes can restore plastic for cars, and is suppose to hold up under weather and washings. Havn't tried it myself, but I'd look into it.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by B18C5-EH2 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Your problem is very common among our aging 1992-195 Civics, so don't worry.

The mirrors will need to be sanded down with some pretty fine sand paper to hopefully knock off the rest of the coating/paint. You might want to remove the mirrors, or tape up REALLY good around them. Remember to not paint the rubber trim/seal on the bottoms of them.

After they look smooth enough paint them with some Duplicolor Bumper and Plastic Trim paint. This **** is THE bomb when it comes to duplicating the plastic bumper black color. With the right prep work they will look good as new again.

As far as the trims on the doors go, you do mean the ones that run horizontal along the bottm of your windows, right?

Simply peel the rest of the black off and then sand the rest off, leaving you with only a silver bare letal looking trim. Tape up your entire window and the areas around the trims and then spray them with a good flat black or even better, Brite Touch General Purpose paint from AutoZone.

Good luck, and any more Q's feel free!</TD></TR></TABLE>
