Recoloring the plastics on the outside of the T top?

Mine are not the nice, shiny and dark color grey like they used to be and I was wondering if there was a way to recolor that exterior plastic piece. A friend of mine used dark grey plastic bumper paint with great success on his bumper but I am afraid to try that on my T top. An in depth guide as to what to do would be greatly appreciated. Even just a general outline as to what grades of sandpaper to use would be awesome.

If you're referring to the drip seal, you can get brand new ones for $55 from www.1aauto.com.
