I dont know if that's available, but there was a chap who put up a detailing thread with an estate GLS.... he used some silver vinyl cut with a razor to go over bits of trim that looked shabby.

ill try and find the thread

Yea you can buy the stuff in rattle cans, never used myself but been told its rubbish and doesn't last 5 mins, even after a lot of prep work.

There was a Member on here, that rubbed of the rubbery stuff back to plastic with good results, cant for the life of me remember who though.  ::)

I used acryllic paint on mine to good effect, but recall someone who flatted their plastics back, and then basically polished them to good, if somewhat shinyshinyshiny, effect :y
