Chrysler200s Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I have a Chrysler 200 S and I'm looking to black out the plastic trim going across the back on the trunk, the trim strips underneath the driver and passenger windows, and the plastic trim around the grill. I've seen it done before, but not sure really how to prevent it from peeling. I was thinking about just scuffing the plastic and using a small airbrush to paint them and clear coat. I'm just not sure if this will hold, any help would be appreciated! Quote 2011 Chrysler 200 S (Black on Black on Black w/ black trim) Changing all the time but, for now..... *Coming Soon* 80sq ft.

Just make sure to use primer (if applicable) and put on many thin layers to prevent runs and (eventual) chipping. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDIOADDICT02 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) To paint plastics I sand with 320grit, spray a bit of adhesion promoter, followed by the basecoat & topped off with the clearcoat. Edit: paint itself is plastic anyway, idk why people make it a big deal when painting plastics, just perform the proper procedures & you're good.

AUDIOADDICT02 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 thanks alot audioaddict.. No problem man, if you feel 320 is too rough, you could step it up to 400 or 600 grit, anything finer will allow the paint to peel right off as if it were just skin, trust me, I've been there, done that when it comes to paint. Good luck man!
