Klaus - consider another color.
Search brick pix for 850s and go to page 3 - half way down, you can see two of our 850s.
On both cars, I painted the 3 grilles in the bumper silver. Bright instead of black, they mimic the grill and headlights.
On Gayorg, I painted the trim and bumper top beige with Rustoleun - I used a brush - I cleaned the trim with paint thinner and masked with 2" strips of ink jet paper inserted behind the trim. I inserted all the strips top and bottom first and removed them as soon as I painted a section. You could paint the rails as well.
The paint lasted at least 6 years and I could wax it along with the rest of the car. After the photo, I painted the wheel covers to match. The grilles could be painted to match the trim.
When the service writer asked, I told him it was the Eddie Bauer model.
Sadly, my daughter sold this car 3 years ago for $100 as she could not get it started, it is still running around Bemidji! I wish that she had told me about her troubles, as it would have been nice to offer it to you!
