Trim back to life

Need to know if anyone knows how I can bring my Regals triming back to life. I dont own a T-type really still trying to figure out what model it is,but point is items such as headlight bezels, grill, things like that.. need to see if there are any options to get them back to life without having to buy brand new ones. I read a post about powder coating possibilities.. someone give me some knowledge...thanks

The bezels and grille are plastic so powdercoating is out. I've always used scotchbrite, soap and water and some SEM "trim black" spray paint with fantastic results. The metal trim can be powdered, but the prep work can be a bit tedious, again: scuff 'em, wash 'em and trim black 'em. (maybe a light coat of self-etching primer first).

Chrome trim can be buffed out and then cleared, unless you make it black.
