Title: painting trim
Post by: Dan_GTi8v on 28 July 2012, 23:36

What do I need to do prep wise to spray all the exterior trim on the bumpers and rub strips etc? when I spray the car decided I'm gonna do the trim as well. I'll be using a gun not rattle cans

cheers :)

Rubbing them down can get tricky as they tend to go furry,i would  use a  high build plastic primer and flat it back ,building it up flattiing it back until its smooth  :wink:
