H3 Need advise please!!

[junedawg]

Hey all!! Just got my first H3 and I love it!! I want to paint the plastic trim on the roof. My H3 is black, and I was wanting advise on what color black to paint them?? Was thinking either satin or flat black. Also, how easy are these panels to remove to paint? Thanks for the advise!! I'll get pix up as soon as I can...

Get yourself some plasti dip about 6$ a can and is very forgiving. It's a flat finish but if you don't like you can peel it up and not mess up your surface

Plasti Dip would be a good solution. Otherwise go matte. As far as removing it.... it's not too bad. There's gotta be a few threads around here talking about taking them off....

I did all my plasti dip research on YouTube haha its a good place to start

ReconH3 is the only one I can think of off the top of my head that painted that trim. It isn't hard to remove - just a few screws and bolts. You may want to PM him with questions, or just ask him to look at this thread.

I would use suggest Duplicolor trim paint, I remember seeing a thread a while back and that's what they used with good results.

Thanks for the advise guys!! I talked with a friend that swears by plasti dip. Think I'm gonna try that.

I have plastidip on my hood cowls and grill. It is easy to use, but does not hold up well to brush. If you don't drive or wheel where there is heavy brush it would probably be fine, but mine was torn by brush. I'll be getting them done with bed liner this summer for a permanent solution.

there is also a product called Glossifier for plastidip. it turns the Matte finish into a gloss finish. and it is still removable afterwards.
