Side mirror plastic trim fix

My side mirror plastic trim was sun faded. I wanted to show some after pics of how to make your plastic mirror trim look brand new again.
I used Dupli Color Trim and Bumper paint. I used a 3m scuff sponge to lightly scuff the plastic. Next I used a Dupli Color Prep wipe to clean and prep the plastic for the paint. Make sure to mask of the car and the rest of the surrounding molding. I used 4 light coats of paint. The entire project took about 45 minutes per side. The trim now looks like new.

If you use meguires you don't have to remove and any overspray on painted area you just wipe off
