jimistdt 1 Posted November 4, 2008 It is possible to spray with paint aerosol with reasonably good results.....be sure to mask your windows first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Last Legend 0 Posted November 4, 2008 I 'light' coat of satin black spray paint will do it,Wilkinsons do a good satin enamel,thats inexpensive,the spray painting trick is normaly done by dealers to hide wear on carpet a mats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weejp 0 Posted November 4, 2008 I sprayed mine a few weeks back and it turned out brilliantly. Used a tin of this stuff, got it on ebay - thought it would be a bit less toxic than a regular exterior spray can. I took the parcel shelf out the car stuck it on top of a box (so I could cover all the edges well) masked off the guides and plastic dowels and off I went, was really pleased with the results.
