Have seen on YouTube using a heat gun or propane torch to bring back the black.

Used Krylon Fusion on the fenders on my TJ--came out looking as good or better than new. Wiped them down with alcohol, loosened the screws, stuck 3X5 flash cards between the fender/body, taped it off and painted them.

Lasted over a year...and then sold the TJ, bought my JKU. Loved my TJ, love my JK more

One old trick is wipe lightly with motor oil. It works.

Check out Sem Trim Black. Looks OEM. Goes on easy and holds up to abuse really well.
