Thanks Cliff, Colins post reads more hopeful now, I saw the word DIP and assumed incorrectly

To be honest, I've never used it myself, so don't know. I've heard good things about it though.

Very interesting,what do you think about using this on the rear window trim on my ZT? as we know the black material wears and in my case I removed this to reveal the crome trim. However I would like to recover this to the original black,do you think this Plastidip would do the job? Chris.S.

Again I've done it on that zt saloon, the black had came off and chrome appeared. Mask up, spray on, let dry, and peel and excess off.

As always warm the paint before hand for a much smaller atomising spray. And that's it.

Honestly it's a gift from the gods.
