Greetings,
I didn't know what forum to put this in but since I need to paint the rubber trim pieces on the door of my Oxford white '91, I posted it here.
Anyway, the rubber trim on the doors of my '91 convertible are in good shape but are yellowed. I want to mask and paint them myself. I have painted with my conventional Binks gun but need to know the speciefics of how to prep (600 grit wet/dry to scuff original paint?), what base, clear, reducer to use, do i need an additive to make the paint more flexible or an adhesion promoter, how many coats of base (how many 'dry', how many 'wet' coats, etc), how many coats of clear ('dry', 'wet', etc). It's been awhile so how thin should the base, clear be? How long between coats?
Also, is it alright to keep the good (but yellowed) original paint on the trim and paint over it after scuffing it?
The alternative is to get the body shop to paint both trim strips on the car for $200.
Thanks!
