I would suggest nixing the paint idea and going with Mother's Back to black or a similar product.

No he means the paste product that you dab on a rag and polish the trim with, it makes it look new again and last for a long time. Spray paint is never a good option for anywhere that sunlight is going to be touching for hours at a time.

would that stuff be good to fix the faded paint on the black trim that goes up along the sides of the back window? mines started to fade a bit right there you cant tell unless you get up close but its just a little thing that bugs me.

That is the stuff. I would go to your local atuo parts store and get the Mothers Back to Black though as it is much cheaper and comes in a larger bottle.

Another thing that works and I use frequently on everything on the exterior of my, but the tires and windows is Turtle Wax Ice liquid. It works wonders on all the trim and on the metal on the wipers, the cowl under the wipers, all of the rubber weatherstripping in the doors and around the windows. It works well for me.

Is that the bottle with the spray trigger? Spray detailer?
