Painting Trim
 

IM looking to paint my trim. the areas around the front window the roll down windows and the thing on the end of the hatch as well as other little things. what is the best paint for this? testors flat black?, any comment would be welcomed, and thanks

Depends on how long you want it to last. An automotive etching primer and a flat, single stage urethane, shot with a touch-up gun will last the longest. Then there's the rattle can.

Rattle can could last a few years. The trim around the windshield is stainless steel I'm pretty sure. It came painted from the factory on most models.

im painting mine at the moment LoL

im just using a rattle can of ford blue paint. doing trim pieces, drip railing, door handles, windshield wipers and rear window hinges. oh and the rest of the car is black....might look stupid when im done...don't know yet but will post pics when i get them

SEM Trim Paint. Hands down the best paint to use for trim.

It's so good I have used it on my wipers, dash center console, intake tubing, a set of wheels.

No need for primer. After washing the car, it dries without spots. If any area gets stratched, just respray over and it blends in. Amazing paint.

I'm way ahead of you. I painted my trim, it was in horrible condition.

Use a trim spray rattlecan and a primer. I didn't use a primer, but its so easy to touch up if you need it. Mine has lasted through several hail storms.

SEM is def. good stuff. Professional grade. Get it at a automotive paint store. I would also suggest bead blasting those trim pieces.
