I sprayed mine with gloss black paint from Halfords, It came out pretty good :thumleft:

Just rubbed it down a bit, gave it a clean, plastic primer, some gloss black and its lasted fine.

This stuff is the shizzle....used it on my 205 GTI to restore the bumpers and they came up like new. Simply apply with a bit of sponge.
I also used it on my window scrapers on the MR2 and tested on the scuttle panel. Looks perfect and its now a job I need to complete.
