I've got a 2018 PW in Blue Pearl Streak and am in the process of sourcing a floor console and bezel. Prior to installing those I'll be taking all the chrome trim out and painting it. Same goes for the side vents, and the silver trim on the door in my picture. I'm also kicking around the idea of painting the chrome door handles as well.
My questions are these, for anyone who has done it, did you use a plastic adhesion promoter prior to painting? If so, which one? I have SEM Sandfree which I know is for ABS plastic but not sure what all these pieces are made of. Would be nice if ABS as Sandfree is meant to have the color paint go on while still wet and it draws the color into the plastic.
Also, the light gray faux leather insert in the door I'm kicking around changing it to black. Has anyone done that? If so, did you use a leather/vinyl paint? Or a vinyl wrap?
PS: it's good to be back on the forum after the Tapatalk option went away. I didn't find out till just recently it had its own app. Lol. I've missed this community!
