Message I bought it at Home Depot. It was near $7.00 a can. It took one can for the trim and one can for the cowls and wiper arms. It looks great when the paint dries. I couldn't be happier.

The cowls were pretty easy, just sand them to remove any heavy pitting and to prep the surface for paint. Rinse all the dust off with water. Then wipe everything down with acetone. After it dries you are ready to paint.

Here is a link for the trim trim resto

It's on 300zxclub so you will have to reg/log in.


Basically it says:
1)Tape off everything
2)Use a putty knife to scrape off the top of the trim
3)Use a putty knife to separate the outside of the trim
4)Cut off separated outside trim with razor blade
5)Cut the inside of the trim off at an angle so you can blend the lip with the Plasti Dip. Take care not to cut the lip that goes to the windsheild.
6)Wipe the trim with acetone.
7)Sand all shiny surfaces on the trim
8)Wipe down the trim again
9)Mask off the car and paint
10)Smile
