Replacements for these are rather expensive for a bit of plastic, perhaps because the right and left one are different. Mine seem fine except for the outer edges of the visible part between the chrome rim and body paint being a bit "ratty".
With all the choices of bumper paints and other plastic paints, it would seem they could be removed and nicely restored with just a bit of sanding and re-coating of that visible part with one of these flexible paint products.
Has anyone had success with this, and what product(s) did you use
Thanks in advance.

I used black SEM vinyl dye that I had on hand, it's been three years and still looks good,
