Went to a sprayer this morning see if I can get my mouldings, door handles and side mirrors painted. Sprayer said the material of them plastics ain't no good so spraying is a no go =( Would have been the next step forward =(

It is possible just time consuming.

Take them off the car(they may snap)

You need to use a really fine sandpaper with water to get the surface ready. prime/sand/prime/sand/prime/sand/colour/sand/color/colour/lacqure 2-3 coats.

Did mine myself and lasted 4 years with no issues. Have you got another bodyshop you could try? I know malta is tiny.
