Just started a DIY trim touch up today. Arizona whether is not kind to Civic's

All together Im going to be painting
EK Sideskirts
Mugen Style Front Lip
Side Moldings
Window Trim
Stock Grill
Added:Honda Emblem, Windshield Sprayers

For paint I will be using
Krylon Gloss Black (For Plastics)
Krylon Clear Coat

I started off by rinsing and cleaning off any dirt, then setting them out to dry.

Heres some pictures of the process!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Next Day, 11/22/11)
***UPDATE***
Today I put the painted sideskirts on, and taped off the side moldings and the grill and painted those as well, then put my painted front lip back on.
I also decided to touch up the windshield sprayers, and the front Honda emblem!

***Before I painted the grill, I put pieces of cardboard behind

********** AFTER!

Only a couple minutes after taking off the newspaper and tape, everything collected dust! I'll take more photos after I give the car a bath. Im going to let the paint cure for a couple days. I still need to paint the window trimmings[/b]

I moved this thread to the correct section, as it is not a build thread.

Nice work though. :thumb:
