Hello,

Can anyone help with spraying some plastic trim as it is grey at the moment but i would like it black.

This is the bit i would like to do as i think it looks out of place. But i dont want to sand them down i would like the detail to stay in them.



They say once you go black you dont go back! But what if i want too? Is it easy?

Many Thanks Eigdoog.

mmm, I guess no one has done this?

give it a good key with a scotch and dust over a few layers of matt or satin black, ive had great suceess doing similar int he past, unless its like the vauxhall bits were its a weird rubbery type coat and not a paint on your trim?

But will that get rid of the "crinkle" effect?

No, not if you scotch it ,it just dulls the surface to give the paint a "key"

I did this with vinylspray and it's the best thing for it.

As said before: give it a key with a Scotchpad, degrease it and spray with two coats of vinylspray.

Very easy to spray, very scratchresistant and adheres to plastics very very well so no chipping and such.

Ill have to give it ago, but can i use any paint as such? or does it have to be something like a plastic paint? Im going to somewhere today thats LIKE a halfords but its like a small town motor centre. So they may not have plastic paint. If thats what needed ill get some later.

i painted the ecu covery on my old saph in satin and it was fine, use bumper paint etc if you wish but with a key any std satin or matt black tins will do
