I want to black out my window trim, what should I use?

[rexload]

How can I make the window trim black?

It seems like it may peel off if I just paint it

I've thought of this myself but never actually got up to do it. I guess with a light sanding of the surface the paint should stick.

yea I wonder how it would hold up

[PUMASTi]

I would go to the Junk yard and yank some pieces of another CB and practice.

try some vinyl tape. it is reversable and faster. later.

you can use a scotch brite pad and scuff them up. we did that at school the other day and it turned out good.

i used to work for a company that did this...

grab a steel wool pad and scuff up the trim..... with alcahol and a rag clean off all of the left over dust dirt and debris from the sills...... get a can of flat back spray paint... use krylon its good against the sun..... tape up around the sills with painters tape or the pale stuff..... dont use duct tape or you'll have a nasty mess to clean up afterwards.......... then also grab a nice size piece of cardboard maybe lets say 24x20 and use that as an overspray blocker........ use the cardboard for the body of the car not the window..... spray paint can be easily taken off windows with a razor blade or siply by spraying alcahol and wiping it off as long as its fresh i.e same day.....

dont spray too close or you'll run the paint or it'll get all blotchy and nasty lookin..... i'll post a diy on that too...

i did it

I did it on mine, just scuff up the trim til its opaque, tape it off and spray with job specific paint. It came out beautiful, if u want pics PM me. Cuz I'm on my phone.

id say its pretty straight forward...removing the actual pieces before you paint them would be bonus

yea it would be alot easier however you will break some of the clips.. Go to honda and buy a whole bunch before you try it..
