13178, Painting the black plastic on the front bumper
Posted by xEclipsE RaceRx, Jan-28-02 02:25 PM
Those black pastic things that surround the fog light and the hole next to the fog lights are kind of faded on my car. I want to repaint them black, is there anything I need to do before I paint them and do I have to get special spray paint or anything like that?

sand em, primer em, paint em, then clear coat em. make sure they are smooth before you decide to paint them.

one phillips head screw at the top of both...then just pop it right out. for the larger ones on the outsides....you just yank em out.
