Default 1998 F150 Flareside Trim Question

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a place I could purchase replacement trim for my truck. The trim along the top sides of my truck bed is faded grey. I have tries trim restorer products, they won't get it as dark as I want. I was hoping to find some nice Black trim for the truck to fit the red\black theme it has going on.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Krylon fusion would be way cheaper if you don't actually slide stuff over the bed caps so they wouldn't scratch up and if the ever fade anymore just hit them with a fresh coat

this is what i was thinking.

them plastic pieces are going to be pricey im sure. why not just rough it up, prime it with a good plastic primer, paint em and clear coat em.

Shoot with the krylon fusion I don't think you even have to rough it up, the only drawback would be if you haul stuff in the bed that hangs over a lot then you run the risk of it getting scratched up

might have to try that stuff sometime. never used it.

i would worry about the sun fading it more than something rubbing on it. clear coat will help with fading.
