    Few lil questions

    Ok im tryin to tie my E30 all together and I want to repaint my brake ducts black, paint should I use?

    And..

    I have body color painted euro trim, is it possible to sand it down and repaint it black? If I take my time and do it right will it look like ok?

    Yes , just make sure you remove the trim for painting .
    You should not have to really sand them either , just kind of scuff them up so the new paint bites .
    Scotchbrite pads would be ideal for this .

    I would say use SEM brans black trim paint , you can use the same stuff on your brake ducts too .

    I'd also suggest painting the plain "i" lip while you are at it .

        I'd go with four cans, because a single can will go quite a long ways. I've covered quite a bit of ground with just a pair of them. With those two cans I did my fog blanks, brake ducts, rear iS spoiler, and my front iS lip...with paint still to spare. So my best guess would be four, just to be safe.

          So the trim is turning out nicely so far..

          My grill is pitted a little bit is there anyway to remove the two grills from the slats to paint or should I just spray it all at once?
          and.
          I want to remove my is spoiler and paint it as well.. how would I go about removing that, I assume its just double sided taped and would just need to re apply some more when im done?
