Hey folks

 

Any ideas what the best thing to do with the plastic coatings on the screen sides and targas,mine have peeled/broken away in places exposing chrome areas and look unsightly

 

cheers Paul

I did it myself a month ago,and using trim paint they look fantastic,the guys that bought new ones here asked where i got new ones that were black,so that says it all

As far as quality of finish,we have had plenty of days at 40c in Melb lately and they still look brand new ;)

i used the satin,i found it was a perfect balance between the 2 and the closest match to what the new ones look like,its a very easy job and youll be surprised at how they come out

Theres no need to waste big bucks on new ones when you can do the same for a few quid,have fun

I cannot see the link, but what i did was take all the rubber off down to the chrome, (stanley knife)

 

But left the rubber on the inner edge as it bridges a gap

 

Then just a simple prime and spray in a satin black (halfords)

 

I did the cars whole trim and they look like new, not bad for half a days work and £10 :D
