    Scuttle trim spraying

    What do i need to buy to do this? I know i need the satin plastic paint (prob from halfords) but do i need anything else to prep the plastic for paint, some sort of primer??

    Cheers

    Nope spray that stuff straight on.

    Clean it all first with soapy water thought.

    I never bothered with any prep, good wash and your half way there.

    I used halfords own stuff, satin on the wipers, matt everywhere else.

    Do all your inserts rear spoiler and side panels while your at it.

    You be pleased with the results, well worth it.

    I took my scuttle panel off btw when I did mine, much easier.

    doesn't it just look rubbish? too black and shiny and likely to peel? Thats what I've seen pretty much every sprayed one do

    ive seen the matt black finish on scuttle trims and it gives a very fresh appearance much like new imo, Anything is better than three shades of faded grey anyway!
