Hi,
Is it possible to repray the whole of the plastic trims going around the side of my corsa? Ive seen on ebay and on here people selling wheel arches etc that are not black/grey, if it is possible does anyone have a link to a tutorial or can recommend anyone up north capable of doing it
Cheers

you mean like this:
- was quoted about 100 quid for doin mine, if I prepared them and primered them first, local garage is a rip off tho, so did them myself.

Patience is a big part of it, a rushed job always looks worse than one thats taken a week for example...

Ok, im gonna have a go at it myself, hehe. Once removed, do i need to cover anything up on the car? As if it takes about a week to do it properly, the cars gonna be stuck on the drive for a while.

Ill br driving with no bumpers soon and the number plates held onto the radiator with cable ties! Im sure a few wheel arches missing will make no difference
I might even be creative and make a bodykit from crdboard and spray it silver while my bumpers are getting srayed.
