Is it possible and easy to repaint the black plastic trim surrounding the windows on the doors and the side mirrors? I was told no becuase they are plastic and have some special coating, but I thought they could be sanded and painted like everything else. Plus I swear I've seen pics of it painted before.

 

This shouldn't be a problem at all. I don't think you should sand it so much...just scuff it with a scotch-brite pad so the paint has a rough surface to bite to. If you are shooting for a glossy finish, I'd say do base coat/clear coat. Otherwise just use "trim black" paint and you'll be set. Good luck.

 

sorry the pic is so big.. its from accolade website.

 

yea scuff it first then paint it.

 

make sure to use pleny of clear coat as well because, if you dont you'll get a crapload of ugly specs from highway driving, also if you can... make sure you can let teh paint cure for at least 2 days in the sun... -___-;; unfortunately i didnt for my fromt end piece... >_>;; so now it looks like crap-o-la lol

 

^is that before or after clear coat?
