Hi,
I am trying to liven up my interior a little, its completely stock at the moment. I was thinking of painting the plastic trim that is around the stereo, and maybe where the door handle is also. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the stereo surround off and also, what preparation is required on the plastic and what paint to use. Thanks -------------------- 2 X ST165 GT4's

If you want the most long-lasting and brilliant gloss, invest in automotive clear. Its extremely durable and unmatched for shine, and you cant get in in aerosol cans at either autozone, maybe walmart, or here. http://www.automotivetouchup.com
the only drawback is that it will tak longer to cure, about 2 warm days to handle and a full week to cure completely |
