Armor all won't work on badly faded flares. What will work is a heat gun, or spraying them with satin black Krylon Fusion.

Strangely enough the flares on my 98 have not really faded at all. They're still nice and black once I wash the dirt off.

Proper paint, prep and a warm surface and Satin Black Krylon is your friend.
I've done my front and rear bumpers and the side cladding, in almost 2 years and about 60,000kms highway and offroading they still look great with no fade so far.

Canadian Tire sells the stuff. Probably Reno Depot and Home Depot.

If it looks good for 2 1/2 years for under $10, that seems pretty reasonable.

I have to rattle can a few things every year, and it turns out nice, it's cheap and it's easy. Just takes a bit of maintenance once in a while.

A no brainer imo.
