    MK3 golf interior question

    10-08-2012 11:33 AM #1
    Hi to all new to this just getin use to it
    Does anybody have any info on spraying the A-B-C pillars.
    I want it to look oem as possible
    Also how durable is it? will it crack and flake in time?

    OR would i be better off buying the orig black trims? Which are quite expensive

    Any help would be great

    I sprayed my upper pillars with Plastic/Fabric paint. Help up super nice for about a week. Then it started peeling and chipping off.

    Yes. I cleaned and prepped everything. Still peeled off in some spots with the windows down.

    Make sure that you also clear coat what ever you paint as the sun tends to eat up and cause painted plastic to flake and/or fade. The clear coat will help keep it from flaking ...
