Default Plasti-dip the window pillars???

Hey everybody, I have bought these pillar covers here about a year ago:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-Impala-06-12-Piano-Black-Covers-Scratch-resistant-Polycarbonate-Trim-b-c-/261184818477?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2008%7CModel%3AImpala&hash=item3ccfd40d2d&vxp=mtr
And they have faded to a purplish/bluish/black crap color. I was wondering if anybody has tried to put plasti dip on it? I tried it on my wheels and it looked good, only thing was I took it off when I got new wheels because they "accidently" started to peel after I got them installed. I put a clear coat over them and they SUCKED to take off. I am looking for a glossy shine to them, any recommendation?

Don't do plastidip on them. That **** will be rubbing off in no time with the oil from your hands. Just sand them down and paint them.
