Hey, What type of paint would work best in painting plastics?? I want to take the trim off and paint it. But I'm afraid that if I hit it, it will scratch off and I'll be pissed!! Thankz for any help in advance!!! Peace, Kendel (www.mycamry.cjb.net)

well, you mean like trim inside your car? If so, they make paint specially designed for the interior.

I have a gold camry and I used the spray cans off the shelf to paint the trd body kit I bought. The gold doesn't exactly match perfectly but it does match the rear bumper I had to have replaced professionally after a lady hit me so go figure. All in all it looks well but it is really hard to match that metal pearl flake paint stuff that the gold paint is. The paint itself has held up really really well. I was worried that it would chip off easily but it doesn't possibly because i went a little overboard with the clearcoat but it paid off. Basically there isn't much to worry about if you put enough coats. I ended up putting 3-4 coats of each the base pearl and top clearcoat which may be too much but I wanted it durable.
