Greying front grills

Is there a way of restoring the black on the front grills when they begin to grey or is it a case of having to paint them to get them back to black?

I've been using back to black bumper trim after washing it for a year and its getting on my tits to be honest so was looking for a more permanent solution.

I've heard a heat gun can work on certain plastics but not sure whether it would work on these grills?

Cheers

Use Autoglym bumper care, it can be used in shadowline trim, everything really, magic stuff, will sort out the grill anyway.

You could always buy a new one from the dealers, would save you a lot of hassle and time in the long run.
