Shifter boot

My SE shift boot if faded pretty bad. It was red and now just a faded grey. Has anyone repainted one. I used duplicolor paint was good results before on another project but it was not on flexible rubber.

If you want it back red again, then dip it in some of this and she'll be with you for a long, long, time...

I have a 85 GSL SE too. I'm missing the boot retaining bracket. Also, I need a left side rear red light lens for MD inspection. Note, the 84 lens will not work on the 85.
