Looking to restore some of my black plastic interior pieces. My first thought was to use a good UV protected spray paint but I've noticed that some black sprays have a different tone to it; most apparent in direct sunlight. I guess the best way I can describe it is a very-faint brown vs. true black. Wondering if anyone out there has found a good black spray that matches the interior factory black?

Adding a couple of youtube links I found: one is a proper method of re-spraying. The other using a heat gun.... which I NEVER heard of but seems interesting.

This is what I had done. It's professionally painted with primer, a couple base coats and a clear coat, so it looks sick. Not sure how a spray can would make it look. I had a carbon fiber vinyl wrap on everything. When I peeled it off there were weird bubble marks from the adhesive. Had to sand it with 400 grit, then had them painted by a friend that owed me.
