    look at my cardomain site in my sig. I painted all the moldings all around my car. I primered with this plastick primer and then i got this paint for bumbers at kragens. it was like 6 bucks a can. good deal i guess. take a look at some of the old pics and new pics and compare it for yourself. I like it so far. Make sure that you tape everything off and sand and clean everything your going to be painting.also make sure its not too hot or cold when you do it or else things will go wrong. I took me a really long time for things to go my way, so good luck with it. and more questiones pm me.

    I just used Forever Black on mine. It redyes the trim as opposed to covering it with paint or protectant. Here is the thread:

    ditto. but i mean god its like spray painting how hard could it be. and i know how to tape and newspaper everything off, why spend money when you can do it yourself.

    I used, shit either duplicolor or plastikote, bumper/trim primer and paint. It looks 100 times better now.
    I removed my bumpers and sat them on saw horses so I could get near perfect coverage.

    another question....id like to do what ive done in this picture. first question is, can i use the same stuff i use on my bumpers and molding to spray my eyelids and turn signal covers or should i use the nightshade stuff, 2nd question is would i be safe (law-wise) spraying the bumper signal covers here in good ole SC? i know i would have to use nightshade on the turn sig covers, i was jw. you could also tell me how you think it looks my wheels that i have yet to get rubberized (tomorrow for sure) have hypershading so i thought the black would look good with my rims.
