Untill I got around to repainting the one in our corsa,  I touched ours up 
with krylon 1613.  Looked good for ours which had sat open to the elements 
for 25+ years.  Ours though was flaking off so it was repainted.  It is not 
that difficult to re-do though.  Careful masking, edges trimmed with an 
exacto blade and it looks original.  I use the wrinkle paint available at 
any FLAPS.  Instead of the can directions I do two coats instead of three, 
and keep it at 80 degrees untill it dries.  This has worked very 
consistently for me on a lot of things and the wrinkle size is even and 
correct, and very very much like the original, unlike results using the 
directions on the can that result in huge wrinkles.
