spray painting the tacky black plastics...?

[Šįk]

hey, there are a few areas around the clio that have a tacky black plastic, around and on the wing-mirrors, surrounding the fog lights, the cs grill, on the centre of the rear bumper etc etc, lets the car down, i have to say, now has any1 spray painted these parts? im thinking in anthracite or gloss black... to go with same colour as the cars alloys. Now is spray painting these parts an easy task (DIY) ?

i think it would make the car look sooo much better!

i think it would make the car look cheap and tacky

you need some black to break up the colour a bit imo. colour coding everything would look awful.

no not to the same colour as the car either black or anthracite... or do u think that would look tacky!?

 

[SC03OTT]

ah right...still a no from me tbh lol

i bin thinking of doing that, would you need to sand the areas to rough it up, or just primer straight on?

 

[Šįk]

im guessing sand the areas down smooth as possible then prime then spray... but i wasnt sure :S ..is there a certain type of primer to use?

can any1 help!?

No offence p4ers but if you arent sure then you REALLY shouldnt be doing it to the exterior of your car! Find something you want to colour code, buy another of it off ebay then use it as a test. If you get it looking how you want then fit it to your car otherwise bin it and move on.

As for techniques on painting im sorry i cant help in that department but im sure others can.
