Truck bed caps!!!

Anyone know where to find them on the internet? I need to replace mine because they're fading in color. I also need the tailgate cap too.

I have a 2004 ford f150 xlt triton. someone please help!

From what I have read on here, most members clean them up and paint them with Krylon and clear coat. Some have had good results with just a heat gun. Then again there are many products out there you can use..stay away from water based products, use a dye type of product. I do know it would be MUCH cheaper for you.

I'd just clean them up and paint, the heat gun only works for a short time. All the black plastic on my work truck was starting to really fade from sitting out so I tried the heat gun trick, worked but didn't last more than a couple of weeks.
