hey guys, so I have a 95 Eddie Bauer and I've got the tan with chrome plastic molding, the chrome is completely faded and ugly. I was looking for threads on if people painted this but I couldn't find anything so here is my thread on how to do this.
Here's what it looked like before,
Not the most appealing and quite ugly if you ask me.
Now to start of you are going to need :
Spray Paint (what I used, of any color)
Tape (and lots of it!)
Paper/bags(optional, to cover the car)
To start off tape off the molding for the vehicle like you see here
Now I recommend if anyone does this that this Isn't enough tape, I fortunately had a clay bar on hand to remove overspray.
Anyway after your done taping, choose a color of any Spray paint of any kind, and put on a light first coat
I chose brown, seems more like an Eddie Bauer color and also I love brown
Shoot a second coat, let dry for a few, shoot third.
until complete coverage is met,
Now unfortunately I don't have a picture of apply the last coats but I'll show you the after
As you can see it turned out quite nice, now obviously for me, overspray was everywhere, but I just used a clay at I had laying around which got th job done
Now that was easy and simple!
Please let me know what you guys think!!
