painting body trim plastics
« on: August 13, 2014, 09:27:35 pm »

    one of mine is painted in a two pack textured paint, it looks just like a brand new plastic one but doesn't fade the same as plastic. the plastic trim does fade though so I have to keep on top with the trim shine so you can't see the change of shade :thumb:

    How about PlastiDip with a glossifier? Then you can peel it off if you don't like it!

    I got two new ones for £235, one slightly scuffed cost 30 quid to repaint, £760 seems a bit steep :thumbd:

    Haven't used it on my trim plastics, but as Andrew said, I've seen C4 work miracles on some cars!

    Failing that, Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel is worth a punt. If you don't mind putting it on every couple of weeks, it's fairly cheap and goes a long way. Had a bottle of it for over 2 years and I'm not even a quarter of the way through it yet :thumb:
