This video is the first of a series I'm doing on spraying the roof and all plastic parts on my own 2014 Toyota Corolla. I had a great time doing the work and it's something I can really be proud of, at the same time as I am protecting all the bare plastics on my car. It's also a massive cosmetic upgrade if you ask me.

Good video well detailed.Also people just be careful taking off old plastic moulds/bits and pieces because as it ages plastic gets very brittle and is easily broken.Which can make a simple job more costly.

This is the first of what will be a video set on the transformation on my own little Corolla where I sprayed the Roof, Wheels, Trims and all Exterior Bare Plastics gloss black. Fair to say it's a massive upgrade and I'm wrapped with the results. Stay tuned for the rest of the videos. Also, the Gunman spray suits should be available in Feb.

I have an 04 Impreza for some reason the factory used aluminum trim, then chrome plated it, then painted it flat black. Seems a dumb combination of unnecessary steps when the only trim option was "flat black" trim. One side of my car always faces the sun when parked and the black paint has worn off. How could I repaint the trim on chrome plated?

I actually have a video coming up where I spray over my chrome parts, but best bet is to scratch it up as good as you can, then apply some 2K epoxy primer for best chance of adhesion.

@killswitch_disengage 5 месяцев назад

Great video man. I had a quick question though. If I would like to keep the rough texture of the plastics, is it possible to just clean them, and then prime and paint, just like you did, but skipping the pre-sanding? I'm talking the fender flares and bumpers on a 2005 XC90. I like the textured look, but they have become very faded, almost gray, which doesn't look very nice. I want an almost glossy black finish, but with the original surface texture. Thanks!

@TheGunmanChannel 5 месяцев назад

You can do that but if it's ageing and has chips and scratches in it, it will look terrible once you paint it, from my experience if it's not in very good condition just sand it flat, prime and paint.

The door frames on my Prado are actually covered in a vinyl wrap which has started coming off (mainly thanks to weather shields I removed which someone glued on). It's aluminium underneath. Not sure whether to try and re-wrap it or remove it all and paint directly onto the aluminium.

@TheGunmanChannel 3 года назад

I guess it's up to you depending on the quality you're looking for, I have a habit of obsessing over those minor imperfections. First I'm like, "I can live with that" then I'm like "damn that's doing my head in". And I just go and fix it. So if it was me I'd strip the stickers off and spray them. Just see if you can get a 2K epoxy primer because that's best for adhesion on aluminium and bare metal.

Man that looks awesome Gunny, I didn't think the plastic trim would look right in clear but they look great. Been testing a few clearcoats lately tried the Quartz Crystal Clear and Liquid Glass, maybe it's just my skill level but I didn't see much difference in the finish on either of them but I think the Crystal Clear is easier to use and flashes off quicker. Maybe you could shoot the breeze again on your thoughts for these two clears the same as you did for me on the WoW primer, thanks Gunny, John UK.

@TheGunmanChannel 3 года назад

Hi John, the biggest difference is the Crystal Clear is a scratch resistant clear so it's much harder to polish. Apart from that I do agree it actually seems to flash quicker but generally similar high gloss top quality product. I wish I could get more of it here in Australia and I do plan on doing a big order one day.

@JohnWD40TC02 3 года назад

Thanks for the reply Gunny, yeah I'm leaning more towards the Crystal Clear but saying that I also like the Octoral C450, at 20C it flashes in 1minuet but it's advertised as a rapid SR WoW clear so with that you have to spray your finish as there is little in the way of flow out, I'm sure Chris at SGD will help you out with the Crystal mate!
