Refinish Restorer or you could spray it with Plasti-Dip like CAMOGIRL did...

I have also noticed that the Refinish Restorer site has been unavailable for a while. It's unfortunate because I haven't been able to find any other retailers offering it.I like the look of the Plasti-Dip. I'm curious how it would look on a Neptune Vibe. I may have to give it a shot and share the results on here.

Where can I buy plasti-dip in a retail store? I definitely wanna do it. The faded grey abs plastic stuff annoys me so much...

I've been using this trim protector from Eagle One with pretty good results.http://www.eagleone.com/pages/...=5010

I bought my plasti dip at ACE. It looks awesome, but you have to be careful with it, keep an eye out for rubs, you can easily spray over them, so keep an extra can. Its not a perma perma fix, ill eventually PAINT it black because I like the two tone, but this works for now! I used 6 cans, a nice heavy coating of many layers holds up best.
