      when I say scuff i mean scuff and not sand. Sanding might work but i used some 3M scuff pads on mine as everyone told me to do so.

          FYI: SEM Trim paint is meant to be used WITHOUT a primer. It is formulated to stick to metal not primer.

          Smooth move.

          You are supposed to scuff the trim with a 3M scuff pad (NOT SANDPAPER) then spray a light mist coat of SEM, let dry. Then spray 2-3 more heavier coats of SEM.

          Also painting it on the car is ghetto.... there is soooooooooooooooooooo much of it still chrome.

              Hey jordan, whats the procedure on plastic parts, like bumper trim and grills? Same as on metal, or do you need a primer?
              Thanks.

                looks good. lower your euro plate so the top of it is lined up with the top of the bumper strip.. it'll look better. use the diagonal slits on the plate frame.
