Just do this. I followed that for my grill. The method works well for anything.

Will it work on plastic though?
I thought the best way to go was to use some 3M product or something similar to forever black or something.
There was a thread on this sometime last year...

Aww come on! I just used elbow grease and armour all and the black just came right on back on your fender flares. For my grill I just bought some satin black paint from Wal-Mart and took off the Toyota emblem then took off the grill from the vehicle then painted it. It looks great now.

I think Armor all will increase how quickly the cladding will fade...
My cladding is gray - no trace of black anymore. The black plastic on my bumper is still black.
