skiiirt Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 As you can see in this picture. The black trim is fading horribly. Should I go buy a can of touch up paint and go to town? I need some suggestions on how to fix this mess without spending large sums of $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'd start with 320 grit and do at least 800 before the actual paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea even worse than that wierd ass idea. Sorry..I forgot that not everyone knows the "nair" story from OT.com. Here's the short version. The moron was dumb enough to ask about hair removal from his balls. Someone said "soak em in a container of nair for 20 minutes" Dude ended up with a chemical burn and had to go to the hospital...and it's been a running joke since then on a few forums I frequent now.

NOHC_WBody Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yeah...then when he got back and the fucker actually posted pics of his balls. It looked like there was a red lightbulb under the bandages. Then the next thing someone said was "Oh well, shouda used Brake Fluid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said "soak em in a container of nair for 20 minutes" :shock: That shit burned like a mofo when we thought it would be awesome to put it on my face ages ago... I can't even fathom what it would do below the belt. W o w . And the marker idea... sounds like a gig many sales lots would pull. If it works, then meh.

When I use just 600, the sanding marks still show through paint. I would also use gloss paint, it'll match the glass better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broan Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Maybe some of that Bumper Black stuff would work, for re-dying faded trim? It's meant for rubber trim, I think, but maybe worth a shot... kinda like liquid shoe polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiirt Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 what kind of paint and how do u apply it? I dont want a flat black, seeing as it is a glossy finish I would like to make look as original as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Wal-mart has a rust-resistant gloss black enamel that doesn't need a primer. It works pretty good, you could use that. It would save you a step. If you want to prime, I've had decent luck with the cheap 99-cent Wal-mart Colorplace spray cans. Just don't use their clearcoat, although it's the smoothest clearcoat in a spray can I've ever used, it turns chalky over time with exposure to UV.
