exterior black trim painting?

mreyeball · Jul 19, 2012

'97 300tdi 5 door disco
trying to get her looking good for billing (hopefully!)
tried back to black on the plastic trim that runs down the side, looks ok for couple of days but then goes greyish again,
not sure where but was reading how some disco 1 owners have painted said trim using satin black paint, just wandered if any of you guys have, how it turned out and did you spray or brush it.
thanks

A lot of spray paints are suitable for plastics after the application of a primer, you will have to remove that Back to Black silicone stuff first.

I just got metal and plastic black aerosol from Motaquip sprayed on. I primer (just clean) still perfectly black

On my freelander that I used to have I used a tiny amount of linseed oil rubbed into the plastic then buffed with a dry cloth. It kept it looking great and lasted well. Not tried it on my Disco though.

Peanut butter washes off. Boiled linseed oil is fantastic.
