just to put in the brickboard for anyone in the future who wants to paint his lower trim, i just finished the job (rignt & left lower trim, front & rear mudflaps, rear skirt/valence) and it looks amazing. now the 14 year old paint looks bad compared to the trim!. anyway, use a can of SEM Plastic/Leather Prep (part number 38353) then follow up with SEM Trim Paint (Charcoal Metallic part number 39033). they are both less than $10 per can at my local auto body supply shop. scrub the hell out of it to remove any gunk, then spray with the prep (the prep 'paint' is just a clear liquid which goes on and dries quickly - just follow up with a clean cloth). then spray the charcoal metallic on - one can of charcoal metallic did all the trim (each piece got 2-3 coats) and i still have at least 1/2 can of prep left. thanks to all who have done this before and gave advice and good luck to those who havent yet. the difference is amazing and the key is prep work. i also kept all the trim on the car and just spent a lot of time with masking tape and newspapers. a very satisfying and relatively easy job. thanks again/ brgds garry mawhinney long island
