    Mine is gray and I can see I little black plastic where it is coming
    off, i wonder if all the paint could be carefully stripped and just the black plastic look decent? Seems more durable too...

    i've never seen this done, but have heard that it is a huge pain to get it all off while still keeping the texture and color of whats underneath even.
    not to mention it makes a big mess.

    you'd probably be better off just sanding it and repainting it like was mentioned before. this way you're not stuck to black also.

    I figured repainting it would be the only fix I just didnt wanna go through the trouble of taking it all off because the place thats peeling is right up next to the windshield, so thought id ask.

    I recently tried the Dupli color cloth and trim dye. Forgot the name though. Didn't have to sand, just wiped down with grease and wax remover and sprayed. Came out great and got to keep the texture look. Only note though, don't use it on cloth, I used it to dye my head liner and it looks ok but feels like crap. almost like i sprayed it with glue and it's hardened.
