<< Now for the tip:  the chromed plastic inserts in the rubber window moldings
 had faded and de-chromed themselves over their 11-year lifespan, and were
 looking a bit shoddy.  I've painted them with a rubber paint designed for
 tool handles to increase their grippability.  Simply thin the paint with
 mineral spirits and brush on.  Seems durable and weather-resistant, and is
 an easy way to achieve the "Cal-look" without large outlay of cash.

What ratio of spirits to paint did you use?
