    Questions about painting trim on side panels and plastic bumpers

    So my 88 325 is going in to the shop to be re-worked and a full paint job. My friend owns a large reputable body shop and he is doing all the work.. This job would typically cost arround $6k, hes going to do it for $1500. My My question is --- the trim.

    I am going to color match all of the trim on the car with the exception of the trim arround the windows etc.

    I am going to have him spray the side black trim and the black trim on the plastic bumpers--in the middle front and back bumpers. He says with an adhesion additivie--flex agent it would be fine. So i guess I will be the first here to have it done!.

    Primer+ base coat and + 3 coats of clear...... Lachsilber here I come..



    Heres what it looks like now.

    You are hardly the first to have it done:



    Maybe the first to do body door molding, but I doubt it.

    Also, you did ask any questions...

        I think he meant you did not ask any questions. What was the point of this thread? Do you have a thread in the rides section?

          Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.
