bump for help.

 

anyone, i really need to know if I can use that paint or what kind i should use.

 

any paint that says it works on plastic, just make sure you scuff and clean it before painting or expect it to peel

 

do i only have to clean the chrome part that i am painting? what should i use to clean it and what do you mean scuff it? thanks

 

gunmetal looks best if ur just going to paint it

 

you need so sand the chrome off so the paint will stick to it. if you just paint over the chrome the paint will flake and peel off. you may want to primer it first as well.

 

what do u reccomend to sand it down? just regular sand paper? or something special?

 

Well i got the stuff ready to sand it down and got some primer. I am going to try to use the wheel paint and do it tommorow, wish me luck.

 

id use 400, it seems to be the same material as the headlights, so id follow those instructions, but id use clearcoat for protection. Im also looking into this, but i have a black car and i have krylon fusion paint, but not sure if it will match, which do people think is the closest or should i go with a flat black to match the fins?

 

the lights need to be blacke dout too realy say...

 

black the headlights with the gunmetal grill

 

my headlights are blacked out, with the black fusion like i said, but its hard to tell if they match through the plastic, and i dont really want gunmetal becuase nothing i have on my car is gunmetal,
so shiny black or flat black?

 

If you guys are talking about my ride, I already painted the grille, the pics are under show and shine so i guess i don't need any more opinions, btw I am thinking about blacking out heads/tails.

 

yeah wasnt quite sure who they were talking to, oh well not many people are reading it anyway

 

kott tot, you can go with any black paint, and get an acrylic clear coat to keep it a flat black. I did it on my grille and I even sprayed the black fins a little bit to blend it together better so I'd recommend doing that as well IMO. Make sure you sand it well, clean it, primer, paint, clear coat so it doesn't chip as easily. It will chip after time, mines starting to now, so you might have to repaint eventually.
