Title: Paint pillar trim
Post by: Mikester on 10 December 2009, 14:18

Im thinking about removing the abc pillar trims in my mk3 and painting them black, rather than swapping them for the ani/highline ones.

What paint and prep should i use to get the right finish?

Any suggestions welcomed.

Mike

See what you can find mate, but they are like rocking horse do do around here, there are a lot of big dub clubs in the area which are not stupid..... and neither are the breakers.
