Hi guys n girls I wanna get both my st front grills glossed black

I'll be taking it to the body shop for it but I want it done properly ie dont want it to start peeling n stuff over time etc

Whats the best way to do it so I can tell the bodyshop I want it that way

Thanks in advance guys ;)

Jus a quick shot after a detailing session ;)

When painting that type of plastic I would recommend removing the parts yourself and dropping them off early so they can be prepped and primed and left to key correctly for a few days. Before colouring this gives a better chance of not flaking but nothing is 100%.

I would hope the body shop know how to paint plastics properly in the first place... However,

Prep is the key here, it will take a good couple of days to do the job right unless they have a baking oven for small items.

Now that does look nice like the wheels

looking good Jay!

as others have said, if the bodyshop know what they are doing then you shouldnt have a problem. I did mine myself, sanded each honeycombe down, washed and cleaned eached honeycombe before applying a few layers of primer, then VW Diamond Black and then a few layers lacquer (took 2 days to do this). I sprayed both sides so to avoid any missed areas!
