Rubbing strips back to black

Post Mon Jun 23, 2008 11:28 am

Anybody got any tips for getting the side strips of my car back to black, I'm sick of having to put slime on them to get them looking black all the time

Degrease them and then spray in satin black holts colour match no:1. job done

Does the paint take to the rubber part or do you just spray the painted insert? I want the whole strip black

Pretty sure it takes to the whole strip, as long as (as above) you degrease it properly.

Turned out fine on my bro's 325
