I'm thinking of picking up a can or 2 of their aerosol spray can and using it on my rear vent covers and possibly my running boards. Fortunately, my truck is dark gray, which they offer a can in that color.

I know alot of the Z71 guys had luck using this to color their body molding. So I was thinking it might work with the rear vent covers and would certainly be a lot cheaper than buying new ones or having them professionally done.

I use mothers Back to black. Pretty much it works like a wet street. When it's dry it looks like crap, but wet down the whole street and it bring out the black surface. Keep it applied and it'll always look good.

I've heard good stuff about it on other forums. Also, you can try 3m trim paint or SEM trim paint, the flat version (not gloss).

Just make sure you prep them good. Use a fine scuff pad, Simple green, let it dry, then paint.
