Painting/dying window trim

I did a quick search, arounf the forums, but didn't find anything about this.

The trim around all the windows is noticabley fading. I was wondering if anyone had this problem and how they went about making it look better.

Should I paint, dye or maybe just armor-all it?

I was thinking the flat black paint they make for bumpers might do the trick. I imagine it needs to stay a little flexible.

Thanks for any ideas!

thats why you take care of the car

dont use armorall - IMO, it just wears things out even more

try a plastic restorer, or search the detailing forum
