Distressed trim... Needs re-colouring???

[Nafoff]

Right i have a piece of interior trim that has been stretched and has distressed to the point it has gone white. Its not massively visable but its bugging me, i want to get some colour back into it, any ideas? I was wondering on shoe polish, permanent marker and the like.

All ideas welcome...

What type of material is it?

Black plastic vinyl mate

Difficult one as you've actually changed the makeup of the item by the sounds of it, Neil.

What actually is it?

dunno if its the same but when this happens on moto-x bike plastics lots of boiling water or a heat gun normally brings the colour back

its a doorcard mate, i fitted component speakers so of course crossovers to the passat, the make up of a VW door means there is bugger all room so something had to give slightly...
