Aftermarket Bed Rail Caps

My bed rail caps started to turn while and dull looking. The dealer wants $200 for the replacement. Is there anything out there that is better than the factory and can give it a nicer look? I wouldn't mind a metal type that is either anodized or powercoated. Any ideas?

+1 on the Back To Black. Stuff works good. Just remember to apply it in the shade on a cool surface, may need two coats if caps are really faded. Brings the color right back and lasts a good while.

You can even try using peanut butter, pledge for a low cost approach without having to shell out alot for new rails.

I used some of the Back to Black on my mom's Jeep.
It made them atleast 4 shades darker.

On the back of my dad's F350, it made it about 10 shades darker.
This stuff is amazing.
