Thinking of changing the grey side panels of a 08 RTX to a black with http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/ so, what are your thoughts ? I was thinking a satin over a gloss.... what do you think ?

dont know if fusion will hold up but black looks way better.

I used
http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_f ... ed_finish/
on the headlight shroud and it worked great. It covers all the sins of trying to do a professional looking paint job from a rattle can.

You can buy black panels.
If you are going thru all the trouble of painting them why not go with a color you can't get.
Paint them white or a dark metallic grey

used the krylon on my panels. still good after last season. just cleaned the panels with acetone. no sanding.
some may rub off when you have it under the cover when trailering.
i'd go satin. less obvious if you hit some brush. i'm a fan of flat/matte black though.

Ive used krylon fusion on outside plastic pieces of my car, and as long as its clear coated, its pretty durable. I'm thinking about doing my red pannels a flat black with the stuff... Its quite easy to work with and makes it look pretty good for a rattle can job.
