Hey guys. Talked about doing this a while ago, but finally got around to a test of the Krylon Fusion spray paint on some exterior plastic. Forgot to grab a before picture, but took one of other plastic to compare.

No real prep. Just washed dirt off with some soap, quoted dry and sprayed it. Here's some pictures. One of each of the four coats, and where I got the trim piece. I'll add a picture of it in place tomorrow after it cures.

Let me know what ya think!

Looks pretty damn good! Will you be spraying a clear to help it not fade fast?

I think I will. I'm going to finish the rear bumper plastic and clear it, see how it turns out.

Thinking about it, the next part I'm going to do is the spoiler on the tail gate. I plan on doing all of the plastic by summers end.

Nice can't wait to see it all done. I've been debating to do this and now thinking either this or get the aerosol bed liner spray and coat it in that...not sure what route I want to go but I have time since weather is raining and cool

I tried bed liner on the fog light bezels, and it's flaking off. I think this route will be the way to go.

Here's a pic of it in place.
