trim paint

Recommended Posts

If you use a good plastic etching primer (most plastic primers will light etch) you can coat with a variety of paints. A plastic primer and a plastic paint like krylon work well for most applications. Top coat with a compatible product if the item is high wear.

I clean well with a wax and grease remover. I sand the piece lightly if possible, I don't if it's textured. I use an adhesion promoter followed by a primer. I usually use several coats of paint and top coat. If the part will be flexed, I will use a flex additive. I spray with an HVLP (high pressure works just as well) so most automotive paints, base coat/clear coat with a flex additive, work well if you have the equipment.

I'm gonna try that plasti dip on mine. If I don't like it I can just Peel it off and if it gets messed up I can just Peel and try again

I used this stuff a few years ago and it looked great then started to peel in a very ugly way.

Believe it or not I got a set of qforms from crutchfield for 39 bucks. They are tan and my interior is gray. I figured at that price I could paint em.
