hi i want to color code the black trim on my car on the doors and the front and rear bumper can any one tell me wether it can be removed from the car to paint or do i have to mask it all off.

thanks
 
if you dont use the correct primer it'll peel or flake after a few months mate. Even more so if you use a carwash or power washer!
if you go to your local body paint shop and ask their advice they should be able to russle up some clear base coat stuff (cant remem its name) that you spray on first... this effectively gives a smooth finish that the paint can grip to better.

trust...its worth the investment.
95% prep
5% painting!

alternatively just go to halfords and buy plastic primer :P
 
Ah, didnt realise they did it... years ago when i had a white 306 S16 i did all the bump strips gloss black, and had to go to a local paint supplier.
The only way i could get a super glossy finish without using tyre dandy every day was to use this method and was ace!
