There were some posts back in time (which I also participated in) about painting black the rear external E pillars (and radiator grill etc) to bring them back to life. The consensus was, I think, that Krylon Fusion plastic paint was the best. I then set about trying to get some. Crikey ...
It is readily available in the States (but suppliers can’t/won’t ship internationally). I have phoned numerous people in Oz and, after an arduous search, I have finally tracked down someone that has it (and I don’t have to buy 36 cartons) - but only in Gloss Black – the only other colour I saw on the manufacture’s website in the States was a satin finish.
My question is has anyone used the gloss finish – if not, what do you think it might look like. Has anyone painted the door handles – they look as if they are made from a different kind of (?) plastic.
I’m going to buy some tins of this stuff anyway because it is impossible to find but just after anyone’s comments of the gloss finish – might be perfect - might be horrid – might be in between.
Thanks
Regards
Andrew
