It's quite a thankless task... Here's what I did:

Thoroughly wash the plastics in soapy water.
Dry.
Soak in paraffin.
Wash them again.
Dry.
Plasti-kote primer.
12 hour dry.
Plasti-kote colour (black for me).
12 hour dry.
Another coat of colour.
12 hour dry.
ACF-50 coat

Turned out ok, it has rubbed off in places but mostly intact after 15,000 miles.

I re-did some of it in orange recently.
