I recently ordered a can of SEM Color Coat in silver to paint my bumpers and moldings. It is their rigid plastic/vinyl spray paint.



Is there any DIY info on this process? I am familiar with the prep/spray paint process but curious if there is any tips/tricks for our bumpers/moldings.

Would love to see examples as well! I am going for the SE bumper look with painted door moldings.

To this:

 

The colour prob wint match. Most people on here refinished their plastics to black, liek myself. You can see how I did it in my build thread.

 

I agree that it might not match with the factory color of your CRV.

 

I am well aware that silver is a tough color to match. I am looking for prep processes but thanks anyways!

3. Clean
4. Is it clean enough? Yes, clean it one more time
5. Scuff with a red scotchbrite pad
6. Use a spray on plastic adhesion promotor
7. Then spray your color on.

I was looking into that as well but couldn't come up with good examples online.
