Paint Question

[MileSwimmer4444]

Ford made the 97-03 F150s with the black plastic trim around the back window and on the front bumper...is there any way to sand that or something so it can be painted?

you can prep it like a normal panel but use plastic primer before you put normal primer on it, then it just like a normal metal panel, but if you sand thru to the plastic again, you need to put some plastic primer on it, otherwise the paint will flake off it, also if it needs to flex a little, you may need to add a flex additive to the pain and primer, any good paint shop can help you wit this.

i think if you just scuff it up with scotch brite it should be ok. but yea you should use some plastic primer.

Use red scotchbright pad to scuff and adhesion promoter before primer. You can add flex agent if the pieces are flexible (not like rubber).
