    Trim restoration

    My car is in the process of being repainted atm. What should I do to get the color back in the trim? Should I repaint with black trim paint? Or should I go with something like this.

        You can get a nice even finish with the SEM trim black spray, and repaint it when necessary.

          what grit do you guys use for prep? I used 250 on my little lip spoiler and it looked like trash...

              I had a can of Spectro SC1 laying around, all I did was wipe clean my trim, spray it with the SC1 and wipe off the excess. Now all my bumper trim is nice and black again...Plus, didn't cost me anything really since I already had the bottle laying around from when I detailed my GSXR. Still waiting to see how it holds up in the long term though (SC1 is a clear silcone based coating. It never hardens so it can be easily wiped off your bumpers/fenders but soaks into the plastic trim)
