Ok, so i have DARK blue and black interior..

I want to Change...

- AC/Heat vents to a glossy black instead of dull black..

- Some of my other black parts i want to add the black GLOSS to it instead of dull black..

well pretty much, overall.. any black parts i have, i want to take them, and coat them in a black gloss/shiney color..

Any ideas on painting these.. they are already SMOOTH parts, i want to do it without sanding..

SO.. this is what i WANT TO DO..

Prime paint, Black Paint, Gloss/Clear Paint...

any ideas on what I could use to Prime, Paint, Gloss?

Wow U have a lot of work ahead of u dude....its not too hard just gotta make sure u use a cleaner on all parts to pull out all armorall, etc.... out of the plastic. I like using bulldog plastic cleaner. It also has an abrasive compound in it to "rough" up the surface so that ure paints will stick. Dont forget the plastic coat adhesion promoter and take ur time. then any idea if ur using rattle can if so any type will work pick ur favorite.... good luck!

Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer

there is a plastics adhesion promoter out ther you should use before priming, I want to say its made by or called plastic coat, but Im sure the bulldog stuff works just as good. it comes out clear. then use regular primersealer and paint. u can also use a clear to protect the paint. just not so much unless u want it really shiny.
