Default anyone repaint there moldings black

I'm about to do mine, i think it looks way better. Any reference lines i should look out for. Only thing i've seen is from other pics. And what prep work did you guys do. I was going to use duplicolor trim paint. Hopefully it turns out ok.



Im going to polish the wheels, and hammer it.

Since your mouldings are painted already,I dont think that the duplicolor bumper paint will stick to your already painted mouldings. Just buy new ones.

And i was reffering to crx's, cuz the bottom moldings on the bumpers look a little tricky.

moldings as in window moldings? i did mine last summer with duplicolor trim paint. came out pretty well... i left the windows down and opened the doors up then placed tape in the crack where the window goes. and i pressed it into the small crack above the molding between the molding and the paint. then i cleaned with alcohol and sprayed away. if you are talking about the mid door side moldings i just wasted a bunch of time.

ps... rex looks cleeeaaannn!!!

use SEM bumper paint. The one called honda black...# 39293. Just scuff up the paint ont he moldings and bumper and it will stick fine. I used it on my car and it came out perfect. The duplicolor one is a little dark.

I used the duplicolor on the sedan about three weeks ago, the side moldings came out nice and dark.
