I've seen some threads asking about the best product for painting or coating the plastic cladding on some 4th gen 4Runners. Found some pics of my previous truck, an '02 Xterra, and thought owners who are considering painting their plastic cladding might be interested in how black DupliColor Trim & Bumper paint looks and holds up.

This one isn't my vehicle but it's what my grill looked like before:




All of the black trim (except the roof wind deflector) on my X was painted over 3 years before these pics were taken.






As with any painting, good results depend on good prep. I cleaned everything thoroughly, including using DupliColor's grease & wax remover, then followed the directions exactly and used the supplemental products like their Adhesion Promoter as directed. Everything held up very well.
