    Default Painting Door molds white?

    Hey.

    What's the best way to paint the black door molds white? I was going to take them completely off but the paint underneath isn't the best quality, so I've decided to paint them white.

    If you're going to paint anyway, why not just take them off and fix the ugly paint underneath? Lol...

    Nah just buff and touch up that shit, surely it will come out better than with the moulds on.

    Before I found Calais door moulds, I sprayed my black moulds and they came out better then expected. I just used touch up paint matched to my car, with the addition of clear and primer.

    It took lots of patient and effort but definitely worked and didnt flake at all.
