it can be painted... but need to de proper preparation 1st... like applying a coat of primer for plastic/vinyl 1st...

if i DIY... i mayb use putty to rub over it to have a thin layer so dat it stick on it... then use sand a paper gosok a bit to make it smooth... then onli spray... like dat i think de paint should stick well...

as u all can see..was trying out with a black tape..the tape normally use for wiring..just experiment how would it look like if i put something black..which suits with my side-skirting..so,black sticker-type is ok?or any other more opinion..

another shot..not done properly yet..later got to take them out again

well.. sticking stickers on dat part is not adviceable.. why?? it is bcos de surface on dat part is not smooth... it is rough.. n de sticker wil not stick nicely or firmly onto de plastic thing....

at 1st.. de stickers will stick on it... but it wun last long... after a few car wash... or some heavy rains.. it wil start peeling at de edges...

actually u dun have to stick those wiring tapes just to c how it look like... u will introduce some adhesive onto de plastic thing n will stick some dirt after dat... u can use adobe photoshop to try it out mah... al u need is to get a pic of ur car... :)

so..how to take out the lining in order to repaint the color? Coz stock one really looks bad..especially when u wax ur car ( ur wax will hardly remove and leave stain mark on the lining).

 

[khguan]

no need to take out lar... just cover de side with newspapers secured with masking tapes....

 

[Carrera]

like that must be very careful..workmanship must be good ler

 

[khguan]

not necessary be very careful... just need some techniques and skills.. B)

btw, how u guys change the rubber at the middle of the lining one?

 

[yinho]

u mean the middle black tape? its a double sided sticker. once u pull it out then u can purchase it from spare parts shop
