Well I finally painted most of my plastics on my truck... I painted the door and tailgate handles, bumper steps, front valence insert, and I made some eyelids!! I still have to paint the lower valence, antenna base, and hood sill plate thing...
I put a couple layers of adhesion promoter on everything, then 4 or 5 layers of color match black, then 4 or 5 coats of clear
I also added a few more layers of VHT to the tails, and cleared and buffed them... they look much better than before.
I also have some 5.7 HEMI stickers on the way for the sides of the hood (on the silver), and I took off the factory mudflaps and fixed the HUGE gouges they made in the paint.. to the metal!! I got some bigger flaps that wont rub the paint again. Havent had time to put those on yet...
I hope AF approves of the eyelids![Icon Couchhide](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_couchhide.gif)
