How about this quick fix here winkeye
Can really make that our to well on my phone but no time for quick fixes. Painter is going to paint them and they won't need doing again for another 20+ yrs, I hope.
Yours are already out and stripped though so you'd be silly not to.. but for those of us who haven't stripped it down and dont want to paint whilst on the car, this is feasible

I'm thinking to give this a try.
It does look as if these pieces only cover the main surface and don't curve around the edges and if that's the case it would look a bit crap.
