Painting faded plastics car trims on Honda Civic

Time to refresh the look of the tired grey faded plastic trims on my Honda Civic. I decided to keep them on the car rather than remove, as the clips often break on you. I used special plastic bumper flexible paint that gave a lovely satin black finish.
Plastic trims were rubbed down with Scotchbrite, then cleaned with panel wipe, I then masked up the trims with tape. You can use newspaper to stop overspray, however as I've got some experience of this I decided to just be careful and neat with the spraying!

Some people should never be let loose with an aerosol.

Yes

The fitment on those wheels is NICE!

@GrooveOn Год назад

Thanks, they are Mercedes wheels from my old CLK, although the PCD was different ,they just about fit !

@thediyandpianoguy8665 Год назад

@@GrooveOn Haha nice one. The offset is perfect. I have a mk8 type s diesel with wider than normal 18s and more negative offset than standard but nowhere near as much as yours. Im getting serious mk2 fiesta xr2 vibes from your car (I know how stupid that sounds lol).

Looks great, have just got a black one myself after my red type s bit the dust last year.😢

@beattorrentsweeper5477 Год назад

I own the same honda civic in Red , the bumper trims are grey , not black , always thought that's how it should look , had no idea they are faded . Baught the car a year ago, by the way

@GrooveOn Год назад

I know they can get really grey, mine still look great

@steveburkett4687 Год назад

Have a 2007 Honda Civic Type S GT in Milano Red, the trim was definitely grey on the red's.

@reeco355 Год назад

Looks so much better 👍🏽

@mercedeslove4291 Год назад

Looks great on the black car, I done my civic its silver and the satin black just doesn't look right against the silver, too much of a contrast.

@alexkidd93 Год назад

What did you use to black out the center of the rear lights? Is it just a vinyl?

@GrooveOn Год назад

It was black vinyl, I bought it on eBay

Thanks x !

@453421abcdefg12345 2 года назад

That came out really well! These textured plastic bits on cars are an absolute nightmare to keep looking good, down here in south of France the plastic bits look awful a week after cleaning and treating, I have the same problem with the plastic/powder coated rails on my Defender, I though you had to use a special etch primer to get the adhesion on plastic? Thanks for posting this! CHris B.

@GrooveOn 2 года назад

You do need an etch primer with normal paint, however the paint I used goes straight on the plastic!

@VynZography Год назад

Great video! Its been over a year now...are they still holding up?

@GrooveOn Год назад

Yeah they are still good, I'll do a video to show I think 🤔

@@GrooveOn excellent! Seriously contemplating doing mine 👍

@moncefalouane 6 месяцев назад

Do you think you could install a front lip splitter on the car? Or would it not suit the car

@GrooveOn 6 месяцев назад

I think you could, it would be quite easy, but keep it subtle

@mariusdorinbirlutiu7216 Год назад

can you tell me what rims are those and what size is the wheel please? looks really good!!

@GrooveOn Год назад

They are actually Mercedes vi brabus monoblock, I changed the spigot hub ring. They are staggered 9.5J rears 255 x 35 x 18" and 8.5J fronts, 225 x 40 X 18" they just fit!

@nhlegg 10 месяцев назад

looks bad ass

@gyuszika1ify 10 месяцев назад

Just wondering about your wheels mate, where can I find some like those and did you use spacers?

@GrooveOn 10 месяцев назад

They are Mercedes Brabus VI replicas, I fitted a spigot ring on hub about 1mm to convert Mercedes 66.6mm bore down to Honda, no spacers needed just fitted on nice ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OEt50HCEmQE.html

@marwanahmed317 Год назад

Did it not peel off without using primer? And how many cans did you use for the 3 coats, please?

@GrooveOn Год назад

Hi it's been over a year and it's looking great. The paint is a special self priming plastic paint, I used 2.5 cans

@leeedwards3485 Год назад

Hey nice vid, has it continued to look good after this video

@GrooveOn Год назад

If you looked at my car today you would think not, but once cleaned, it's perfect, no flaking

@evolution0909 Год назад

Would spray come off with a jet wash 🧼 I.e car wash etc ??

@danijel124 Год назад

Or karcher pressure wash? Thats the question...

@TekerzDesign 11 месяцев назад

Great job! How's it holding up and looking now?

@GrooveOn 11 месяцев назад

its good, I actually did a follow up video to show how it looks one year later you may want to see: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLL4TxgkOBc.html

Would this paint work with the wiper refurb too?

@GrooveOn 6 месяцев назад

It works on most plastics mate

You have the rear lights center vinyl wrap , my civic is also black and was thinking of getting one but im sold on the looks of it on yours .

@GrooveOn Год назад

Hi there, yes the black vinyl works well and modernisers the rear I think. Let me know if you need the vinyl I could arrange.

@MissionKid Год назад

How did you remove that back bumper middle plastic with the Honda logo?

@GrooveOn Год назад

I used a rear vinyl that is made specifically for the Honda Civic mk8 it covers over the whole panel 👍 I can arrange if you are interested.

@@GrooveOn thanks I’ve been looking at all the mods im just gonna get the tinted type r middle cluster and swap it over 60quid

How long does it last for?

So if you watch this video you can see it's still good after over a year! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLL4TxgkOBc.html

They are Mercedes VI monoblock replicas. if you have a look at my other video I show how to convert. studio.ru-vid.comOEt50HCEmQE/edit

Looks great! How long does it last until fade again? Also how long in between applying different coats

@GrooveOn Год назад

Hi there well since I've done the video it's been a few months and it still looks as black as the day I did it I'm really impressed no flaking. The good thing is as the bumpers have a Matt finish you get great results

@DirigiblePlum69 9 месяцев назад

Good cars but i just dont like all the cheap plastic stuff on them, even the door handle are cheap plasticy looking.

@GrooveOn 9 месяцев назад

Yeah I agree, however you would be surprised how reliable these little Honda's are I have just made this video on daily user for commuting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SeskQoB5TPc.html

What is the cost bro

@GrooveOn 9 месяцев назад

cost was two cans of bumper paint, masking tape and scotchbrite, all in less than £25. Here is how they look 12months later ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vLL4TxgkOBc.html
