Center Trim Paint? - Toyota Yaris Forums

falkor_99 · 04-15-2009, 12:47 PM

So this weekend I plan on painting the silver panels =D but I just wanted to get a feel about what type of paint people are using. I have seen some use Duplicolor, and some other stuff but I am not sure what to use. Any help would be great!

vht makes a plastic paint in a spray can u can get from autozone for like 8 bux each. it already has the elastomer and other goodies in it...just shake the hell outta the can.

a good light sanding and even coating, 2 coats paint 1 coat clear and ur good.

all depends on what color your looking for?

I took mine to a body shop. They used the paint code to match the exterior. I chose the same gloss as the exterior. They also painted the AT sifter plate and plug. Whole thing came to 40 bucks. Looks like it came that way. I tried myself twice but the dust kept messing with me. Now I want those circular vent rings.
