Painting Plastic Plugs
I'm falling in love with loaded Redfins.
I've tried painting over the factory finish but haven't had great results in terms of adhesion.
Does anyone know if the 'bone' colored plugs are painted or if they are just raw plastic? They feel raw to me.
Thinking Dupli-color's etching type automotive primer would grab raw plastic better than factory paint.
Thanks for any tips,
Jon

I know if I scrape the chrome off I end up with bone.
I'd try the krylon plastic paint

Try a single edge razor blade on edge. Automotive primer and automotive touch up paint Dupli-color does work pretty good. Slightly scuff & wipe down w/ alcohol.

The chrome/black-blue strip pretty quick by fishing them. |
