Hey guys I have a question. I'm a college student not really having the most amount of money but I really want to paint my trim panels and bumpers on my 1999 Ford Explorer Sport from gray to black, to match my car paint. IMO it looks 100x better and more clean, slick, uniform as all black.
Anyway, I've heard to get it professionally it would be around $400, but I've also heard that if you do it yourself and get trim paint from an auto accessories store, and DO IT RIGHT, and prime and paint it yourself, you can have very good results, if not the same result from having it done professionally.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone has ever done this, if so how did it come out for you, how many coats did you apply, did it hold it well in all weather conditions, etc....and also if you haven't done this would you recommend it however, etc. If anyone has any insight or help I would really appreciate this. Thanks.
