Gray wheel wells BLAH!

What can be done or sprayed on the wheel wells to make them more black in color instead of the dull gray it is becoming? Is there anything that will last longer than wiping it all down with Armor All that lasts 2 days?

May have to replace the black plastic with new ones.

I've known friends that have had their wheel wheels re-coated with underbody coat by professional detail shops; lokked very good, and factory.

Can you even buy new ones for a 94' car, how long would that color last, if it would for a long time it would be worth it to me.

Do not use armorall as it will make the wheels turn grayish after prolonged use. There are certain detailing products that have dye in it and can make them black again. I think the product is called black again or something. You might want to check the detailing forums here: http://autopia-carport.com/
