do you have a Limited? are you talking about the door panel that is "chrome"? I got a bottle of touchup paint from the dealer and painted in the word Liberty on mine. Stands out nicely, good tip from another member.

ahhh, a Sport. Just live with them that way and be proud! Somebody uses a special cleaner (Mother's Back to Black?) to get them a nice dark color, maybe they will pitch in.

If you want them to match you will have to paint, or replace... With all the sanding and work required to get them to be able to hold paint, and make it look good... I'd just replace them with the same pieces from a Limited of your color.

I've used the Duplicolor bumper stuff, and it's GREAT.

Haven't used it on the KJ, but other cars. Make sure you prep it VERY well though
