I was gonna use some Krylon fusion flat black paint. It chemically bonds to the plastic.

thats why I said temporary

 

Problem is getting it clean enough to paint over after you do use it.

 

Yea but its a huge pain to paint over it, even years after it was applied.

 

yeah you got me there

 

I used the heat gun trick on my g/fs XJ. Looked good till the corners started pealing up. I suspect I used too much heat.

What should I use to re-attach the corners?

 

Can you post a pic of it so we can get a better idea of exactly what you dealing with?

 

not to be redundant but i do this stuff for a living..the trim black will bond to the plastic and it has the perfect factory "not too flat, not too shiny" look.. a heat gun to me is like shaving with a straight razor it can be done but you'll get a safer better result with a newer style razor in short there is WWAAAYYY to much room for error with the heat gun
