 Finn,

I had great results using SEM spray paint on the badly faded trim of my 91
Westy.  I believe it was 2005 when I last painted my front grill and
bumpers and afterwards, they looked stock and still look very nice.

I used SEM Trim Black #39143 and if desired, you can use SEM #39863 Plastic
Adhesion Promoter beforehand.  I don't know if the adhesion promoter was
necessary but I used it before painting.
