Satin Black paint in an aerosol is really good. You can find it most DIY stores & in Wilkinsons stores where it is cheaper. :)

You can actually buy proper bumper/trim paint for this purpose from most car accessery shops and i have found it to be really good and not very exspensive

instead of using back to black to maintain after you've sprayed them, try black dubbing shoe polish. Rub it in using an old tooth brush then buff it up with a cloth it does take a few hours to harden but it lasts and expels water :wink:
