car_cursed Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 How to Spray Paint Plastic Trim on a Car Things You'll Need 400-grit sandpaper 800-grit sandpaper Water Masking tape Adhesion promoter Spray paint (krylon Fusion) Read more: How to Spray Paint Plastic Trim on a Car | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_7417353_spray-paint-plastic-trim-car.html#ixzz29rtfwudJ Instructions Sand the plastic trim pieces using 400-grit sandpaper. This slightly roughs up the surface and removes any blemishes or nicks in the plastic. Once the plastic is completely sanded, it should look dull with no shiny areas. Sand over it again using 800-grit sandpaper to smooth the surface. Rinse the trim pieces with water, and allow them to dry completely.Place masking tape and paper around the trim pieces to keep paint overspray from getting on the surrounding surface of the car. Spray a thin coat of adhesion promoter on the plastic, and allow it to dry for 30 minutes. This helps the new paint adhere to the plastic and prevent future flaking and peeling. Spray three to four thin coats of paint on the trim pieces. Keep the coats thin so that there are no runs in the paint. Wait 10 minutes between each coat and 4 hours before handling the trim.
