Painting black trim.

[vkosho]

Hi. Im going to paint the black plastic trim on my renault with satin black spray paint.

I was wondering whether or not to use primer first to achive good results. I heard some mixed things from people.

Any thoughts welcome.

Cheers.

what trim/ for what Renault?
I assume you know you'll have to key up the trim with a scotch pad, or abralon disc, you'll also need an adhesion promotor, so the satin black doesn't flake off first time you jet wash it, primers dependent on if theres any damage and you sanding the trim down with an abrasive paper i.e if theres knicks and knacks needing filler.

Forget satin black.If you want to do it properly you need UPOL PLAST X.Comes in various shades of grey and black(the number 5 cans).Any good local motor factor should have it...

That looks like an interesting and useful product. How durable is it (assuming preparation as per instructions)? Will it survive direct powerwashing for example?
