I've painted like that satin black before and has come out looking like new and lasts!

That or you're going to have to keep coating them in silicone each month

Back to black is crap.

I'd start off with going over them with a heat gun. Then apply some boiled linseed oil and you get a nice dark colour that lasts a relatively long time with minimal effort.

Doesn't take long and it lasts a long time. What I'm suggesting is going over them with a heatgun for starters then keep it topped up with linseed oil.

If you think that's a lot of effort than you're bloody lazy lol.

Think ill give it a try if the meguiar fails

Seen people online taking like a minuite to do one square inch with a heatgun so i am too lazy if it takes that long.

If it's taking them that long they're doing it wrong! Some people do it with a hairdryer and that would take ages, using a proper heatgun doesn't take long at all.
