Okay, so my trim around my windows were getting faded, and ugly looking…especially against my few month old paint job.
here is a “how-to” for refreshing them, and making them look like new! 1.) Go to a hardware store and buy the fallowing items: - black spray paint for plastic (it is rubber your spraying) - a roll of 2 inch blue painters tape - some painters plastic/drape 2.) Prep your car. This is the most time consuming step, you want to do it carefully so it looks really good…and no over sprays etc… 3.) Wipe down the trim so it is totally clean 4.) Spray away! make sure to read the directions for this…about how fdar to hold the can away etc. 5.) Another coat once it is all dry (it is best to make them to “light” coats 6.) Take all plastic and tape away VERY carefully once 2nd. coat is dry on the surface 7.) Clean up and view your sizzleing hawt trim! here are some pictures: window trim fading (hard to tell b/c of pic):  prep work:  sprayed passenger side:  sprayed drivers side (sorry for the kinda bad pic...):  Waaaaallaaaaa  : I vote sticky  ~snapshotgt This post has been edited by snapshotgt: Mar 30, 2006 - 10:56 AM -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

Its a good buy if you have a few dollars laying around its wel worth it. its one of those small things that covers up the truth about how old our cars really are. heck everyone who stops me and ask me about my celi always thinks its a 2001 -------------------- I gotz 2 things my celi and a dream, the prob is commin up with the thrid one...
