I know there are`nt that many plus owners here,but i think you Gen II guy`s may be able to help also.The black on my pillars is starting to look pretty ratty.Ford used to sell the black out kit years ago,but that doesn`t help me now.What do you do about chips in the black?I`ve been told that the actual pluses were black stickers and not paint,so would vinyl work good,or should i just repaint them in a flat black next spring?
