I thought I explained this already?



First you remove the parts from the car completely and wash them down with water and dish soap to remove any oils or treatment chemicals. (armorall, etc)

Then you need to rinse them very well and set up to air dry so that your not getting the oils all over them from your hands.

Once they are completely dry then you can spray thin even coats of vinyl dye or plastic paint, depending on the part, onto it allowing each thin coat to dry a few minutes before adding the next. Add as many coats as necessary to achieve the level of color that you desire.

Once finished, I let mine set up for several hours before moving them to a temperature controlled area. (aka, the basement. lol) And then I allowed mine to setup for a good week without being touched so that I knew it would be completely dry and would not have any problems.

Everything turned out flawless and I have no problems with any of it so far.
