I3eXa Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Was curious if anyone has painted or plasti dipped their roof rails (not cross rails) to match the body color. I don't use mine and they are two different blacks so I was messing with the idea of plasti dipping them satin white to closely match my swp LGT wagon....what say you?

fullmonte77 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Go for it. If it doesn't turn out the way you want peel it off.I have a buffer burn mark(Dealer I got it from did it) on the trim between the front and rear door on mine and it drives me nuts that It's 2 different colors of black now.

Those look good but I'm hoping for a pic other than black since the color won't change much, lol. I'm gonna do this but waiting a few months for warmer weather so I don't have to freeze my balls off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul7ro Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 As a tip, apply 6-8 coats to make it more durable, and easy to move if you don't like it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
