    Best coating for hard black plastic

    I coated the exterior trim on this Chevy Silverado 14 months ago with TW Endura Trim Coat.





    I just so happened to detail that very same truck yesterday. And the exterior trim looks just as fresh as the day I applied it 14 months ago. [I wish I had taken more pics besides this 1 and a couple pics of the wheels & tires that I posted last night were the only ones I took]



    I'd challenge any of those coatings on that list to try and outlast the Endura + look as fresh as day 1.

    Re: Best coating for hard black plastic

    Well got to thinking about a spray on product for Plastic (the grilles are not textured) and remembered, I have Sonas Trim + Motor Kote.

    Have only used it on the inner fender of front fender as a toughness test (only been on a month and really been really cruddy winter weather so haven't given it a good cleaning and inspect).

    It sounds promising, it is in liquid spray form and doesn't require wiping or removal of high spots (is to be applied light mist only).

    The over spray issue solved as well, the grilles are out of car.

    Really think the air-brush would work well in this application (haven't used it much though).

    You can precision spray and use very little product (by no means an expert with an air-brush).

    Any thoughts?

    Well went with the Sonas.

    Tried to get the air brush to work, but no go.

    Sprayed on using the bottle it came in and put more product on than I should have.

    Used a Q-Tip to soak up some spots and let dry 1 hour.

    Looks really good (satin finish vs glossy shiny) and streak free.

    Thanks for all the help (first time I have used the forum to resolve a specific need-worked out).
