I began the work of restoring my Kirby 4C last night. I sprayed out the trim and handle grip with a vinyl/plastic automotive paint. The color I chose is "Landau Black". I chose it because it has more of a satin finish. I wasn't sure if the original rubber trim would have had a high gloss finish on it. This paint has a low gloss. It needs to cure for a couple of days before I install it. I wanted to save the original handle grip, but unfortunately it fell apart. I think rubber just rots with age. But I think this will be a good substitute. (Sorry about the blurry photo.)
