well got bored again today so i thought i would start doing something about the rest of the trim on the car.

 

1st tools of the trade, isopropyl alcohol(no you cant drink it) make sure its the non mineral type.

 

1 can of satin finish plasti-kote black paint.

 

ok first i cleaned the trim down with the isopropyl, i did this several times to make sure all the crap was off, this took a little time. then i gently roughed the surface then cleaned with isopropyl again.

 

then one powdered layer of paint, just to get a grip coat, waited for that to dry then gave it a base coat then another after 15 mins.

 

after 3 coats they look new!!

so will that last then mate :D

yep. plasti-kote is designed for indoor-outdoor use on plastics and rubber, by using the isopropyl you are totally removing any protective layer off the top of the trim, like i said previously make sure you clean them thouroughly before painting. if you use pectra paint it will actually eat into the trim and become a part of it but plasti-kote has never let me down before.

was just thinkin about doin mine,wondered what i could use :)
