Advice for painting plastic trim? Gloss black?

Advice for painting plastic trim? Gloss black?

my Toyota fj cruiser has lots of plastic trim on the exterior.

fit some silly reason it’s quite grey… if it had been black from factory I’d probably leave it… but it’s like a rough grey…

body shop I took it to, said they had to remove all the plastic to do it.

I feel like I can do it on the car, I’ve seen others do it with success.

many recommendations for which paint to use and how much prep I should do?

flat black would be fine of course… but something a little glossier would be cooool I think… maybe even a gloss black…? anyone ever tried that? what would I use?

I have a gas pressure washer I’ve had forever, says 3800 PSI on it.

I bought a new foam cannon (first one I’ve had) and halfway through the wash it starts getting sucked in on itself and like imploding.

I read PSI too high can maybe cause this? but… I can’t find a single foam cannon rated over 3000 psi, just ones that say 3000 for the foam cannon and 4000 for the “gun“ attachment but what’s the point in that if the cannon itself can only handle 3k :/

managed to sort out all my issues with static and everything else.

i turned down my input sensitivity on my amp and this lowered the static.

but i cannot figure out how to get CarPlay working, it actually worked at first… but then stopped working… first the wireless stopped working then the wired stopped working as well… super weird… any ideas why?

on the zlink screenit just sits there when I click on CarPlay, it never does anything , I’ve rebooted it like 10x and updated it with the 6490 2000x1200 upgrade package from johing.

bluetooth works fine.

pls help 😞
