Hey Everybody,
I want to paint my body mouldings the same color as my car (instead of black). The mouldings I want to paint are the ones along the doors and at the bottom along the sides. How do I go about doing this? Thanks.

 

Go get some paint that matches your car...scuff the moldings with some 3M Red Scotchbrite pads, apply the paint. Allow 10-15 minutes between coats and don't try to cover the moldings in one coat, it'll take a good 4-5 coats.

 

go to advanced auto. get the pait to match your car, primer, and clear coat. take it off, sand it withthe 400 gritt. the prime,paint,clear. let it sit. put it back on

 

Thanks guys, can I do it without taking them off? If I have to take them off how do I do that

 

its possible to do without taking them off but would be much more difficult and wouldnt allow you to paint the entire moldings..obviously and wouldnt look near as good...but to do it with them on you would just have to get masking paper and tape off the surrounding areas ie the body so the overspray wouldnt get on your body...but im sure you would regret doing it this way....take the 10 minutes and pull the moldings

 

to take them off there should just be screws along the bottom side that u would remove....

 

What about the ones along the middle of the doors? How do I take them off?

 

r u talking about the sill plates when u open the door?

 

if so then they just pull straight out with a tug, just watch out cuz hteres these black tabs that hold the carpet in and when i pulled mine the other day there were like 3 outa 8 busted,

 

You don't have to primer them
