I'm getting ready to leave for a company BBQ and I was just wondering if this Black Protective Gloss Enamel made by Rustoleum will work on plastic and/or metal trim. I plan on cleaning it and scuffing it before I apply any paint. But I need to know asap so I can prep and paint this stuff and let it settle while I'm at the BBQ.

It should work on the metal no problem, but w/ the plastic you have to make sure to prep it correctly because non-plastic paints on plastics have a tendency to flake if not properly applied/prepped so just make sure that you have a proper preping techique and you'll be fine. But personally I think you should just get naked or paint it to match the car. Just my opinion.

If you use a primer you shouldnt have nay trouble. Be sure the paint is compatible with the primer though.

It should work but it will be really glossy. When i done mine I used semi gloss trim paint made for trim and it came out perfect.

As much as I love getting naked and painting stuff, I think that I might just hold off on that this time. I think that I might just pick up 1 can of semi-gloss black for the metal trim, and 1 can of semi-gloss black for the plastic trim and use the right paint. I'll be sure to prep it good and make sure that it's good and clean before I do any spraying. I think that it'll really make my car look a lot better after I get all of the trim painted, most of my trim has white marks on it because of me waxing and accidentally touching the wax on the black trim.

Yeah its not a hard job 2 do it is just very time consuming having to tape every thing up. The paint i used i got at Advance its called Dupli-color trim paint in a green can.
