Painting window trim
« on: October 05, 2007, 11:44:10 AM »
Pointers for painting my trim around the rear trunk window.  I have it all off and just need to prep and paint it.

to prep take either a red scotch-brite pad or some steel wool...then use a good semi-gloss black spray paint to paint it....

Just "key" the surface with something like a scotchpad or some sort of sanding paper, but nothing rough! or it will show scratches and then decide how and what youre going to paint it in, i used a plastic based paint for all of the trims on my car ( aerosol based ).
If you want more info ( in depth ) then you can pm me.

Buy " Trim Black" paint. You can find it at most auto parts stores, it has the correct satin finish. I use it at my lot on a weekly basis.
