dont paint over the white paint, because it will start to chip off.
Its better if you just buy new black moldings...

The paint wont adhere to your painted moldong properly, because of the texture.
This paint will adhere to stock black rubber moldings.

Not very gangster at all actually. I'm only 5 6", so i can't sit that far back

I think i had just cleaned my seat, so i didn't have a chance to set the seats back to norm. And no, i don't steer with my left arm

I got the Universal Black for the middle top section for my CRX and the Bright Red for the rest of the car.

It's sitting in my room just waiting for a good weather condition so I can prep the car.

Gonna put a little rice to my rust bucket.

I didn't paint the bumpers, i mainly painted the trim around the car.

Work RS-Deltas

Whenever the rain decides to give poor ol Socal a break, i might show some before and after pictures of the window strip molding. I just got my hands on a relatively nice set, but duplicolor could still do them some good.

It's actually pretty simple. The most time consuming part was taping up the moldings, in the case that you don't know/want to remove everything.

After doing that, just clean everything off with rubbing alcohol, just to make sure that there aren't any wax or dirt deposits on the moldings.

Then finally, just spray a couple coats onto the moldings. The paint holds pretty well, and shouldn't easily drip unless you're a bit too generous with your application.

One can covered up all the moldings on the car, including the door sash and the trim near the windshield. It's been several months and there are no signs of fading

I did the same thing on my civic, the bumper used to look nasty, but this is how it looks now.

That's exactly what I want to do to mine. But how was it overall? It didn't come out to be too black, did it? What paint did u use?
