Soon after purchase, I waxed this 855 - what a mess!

So I painted the trim. I cleaned it with paint thinner and painted it beige with Rustoleum, later, I painted the hub caps as well. I told those that asked that my wagon was the Eddie Bauer edition!

I masked trim with 4 inch strips of ink jet paper slid behind it - I inserted all the paper before I started to paint, and pulled each strip out as soon as I had painted past it as to avoid soak through. After the paint dried, you could see the texture in the plastic.

We owned the car for 6 years later and none of the paint came off, even under the tailgate where it did get some scratches.

The painted areas could be waxed.

You could paint your mud flaps black - or some nice color that goes with your car.
