6th Gen ('00-'05): painting trim
#2
I've seen red with silver trims and it gives it a pretty sweet look. But i think its more of a nascar look. I think the black looks better though. I've attached a couple pics that I found on google. Are you planning to take it somewhere to get painted or are you going to do it yourself? If your doing it your self, how? I've been looking into painting my trim black on my silver Monte but I'm not sure on how to do it. Can ya help me out?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Painting plastic trim pieces yourself is relatively easy. All you have to do is scuff the surface with scotchbrite or around 320 sandpaper, clean the surface, tape it off, then spray the paint and clear. Take the tape off and let it cure and then cut and buff

Any automotive spray paint will work. I like duplicolor personally as I have had good success with it. Be sure to clear coat it as well so it's protected and shiny.

You don't have to sand all of the paint off, just enough to get rid of the shine of the clear coat. Basically you are getting rid of the smooth shiny surface of the paint and giving the new paint something to grip on to.
