Back To Black works pretty well for those. At least until your next wash. My car is white, and they are all uniformly faded, so it doesn't look too bad anyways.

On a 126 chassis, I once took the time to clean all the handles very well with a grease and wax remover, masked the surface, and then spayed the handles with an anthracite base clear from spray cans. It worked great. Still looked great after two Northern Wisconsin winters; sold the car there after. If I wasn’t getting so lazy, I’d do it again on my current 126.

Glass-filled nylon, nylon is not UV stable and can't really be made so although carbon-black does help. The outer "skin" of the plastic burns off, exposing the glass-fibers beneath, and there's no way to blacken those fibers effectively unless you re-coat.
I agree with Cal and outofspec. Another alternative is to find someone who is parting a '90-up car with the later handles with the chrome strips, probably 10minutes/door to replace them on the 124 but the lock portion will take a little more time to swap cylinders.
