Paint trunk lock

[Four Fingers]

Ok I saw a how to in the exterior about how to wrap your trunk lock. I was wondering what the steps would be to paint it to match rest of car?

Tape up, rough up, clean with alcohol, primer, paint, clear, done

Pretty much what he said, prep work is key in painting. Seen a couple guys spraypaint their locks but neither did prep and it slowly chipped off.

this is what i wanna do but maybe black? or color match?

[YelloEye]

Colormatch or go home lol black would be just as much of an eyesore as the trunk lock unpainted.

color match vinyl is the the way to go

[RedDead]

this^^^^ easiest also

I put vinyl on mine, held up until the day the body shop stabbed a key thru it to hook the battery back up.
