hey guys,
this is my first DIY so let me know how i went and if i left anything out! cheers
so some of you may notice that your door trim may have turned from black to grey :/
well i decided to finally get of my ass and fix it so heres what i did:
TOOLS: you will need some terps or meth, paint (i decided to get heat proof paint seeing as i was painting it black and it gets friggen hot in adeliade), primer,screw driver, rag, energy drink of choice in this case monster, 4 panadine extra filled with the highest amount of codeine over the counter witch is 15% and some news paper.
STEP 1:
start to remove everything so on the inside of the door panel where the side mirror is just remove the plastic covering and unscrew 3 screws the mirror should then come loose and then unplug the socket.
STEP 2:
undo the 3 screws on the bottom of the mirror then wrap the mirror up in paper.
STEP 3:
remove door window trim. it is quiet simple once the mirrors are off unscrew a little screw near the end of the door frame and lift the trim up till all four brackets pop off.
STEP 4:
mask of the door frame and wipe everything down with terps.
STEP 5:
once everything is prepped start to prime the surface with your primer. make sure you do lots of light coats.
STEP 6:
when its all well covered and dry then start to paint in your top coat. remember to do alot of thin coats to get the desired finish allow 24 hours before handling it depending on the paint so that it will properly cure.
and then your done
