Painting tail light bezels.....

[SeventyMach1]

What was that stuff called that everyone said would be great to use??? I think it was like Krylon or something like that. Where to get????

Also, is there a detailed write up on this anywhere?

I esed rustoleum(sp) on mine. a light sanding and taping, the taping takes the longest. You might want to find a paint specific for plastic though, I couldn't find any at the time let alone the hardware store I went to.

I wouldn't use rustoleum on plastic because I once melted the body of a model car just by painting it with rustoleum.

The Krylon Fusion is really easy to use. Dries in an hour. Becomes chip resistant in 7 days. I used the Satin Black on my bezels after 1000/2000 wet sanding them, it looks a bit shiny for Satin but that's ok.
Last weekend I used it to restore the lower portion of the rear bumper, I must say it looks pretty sharp....Next up the mirrors and the cowl panel!!!

Don't bother with it. Sand, primer, then use the color paint you want. If you want it to last anyway.
