how can i spray paint my car to look like this. can i just lightly sand down the trim and appl the paint or???

 

here's a bigger pic

 

spray paint = no no on car. wont look good no matter what IMO. Why is there a searchlight on your cobalt?

 

Just take off that ugly trim.

 

yes, why is there a search light on your car? are you trying to go for a cop car look? anywho you should just take the side molding off it makes the car look alot cleaner and smoother

 

cause he wants to be a police car.

 

I would just remove the trim piece, then paint it correctly, then put it back

 

I'd just drop it off at the junk yard and do us all a favor.

 

The searchlight is what makes it a 'cobolt'.

 

why dont you put a vinyl sticker, it will look cleaner

 

you can't/don't/shouldn't spay paint that... please for the love of god...

 

what kinds of places would sell vinyl stiickers in long sheets? and yes I am going for the cop car look. already got front and rear flashers. I already lightly sanded down the trim and masked it all off to paint it, but if their is an easier way, I'll shoot for it.

 

So are you actually a cop or what? Cuz I think it's impersonating a police officer, which has just recently become a felony...

 

Just shoot yourself......please......in the head.

 

law states a person has to identify themself a law enforcement officer either by saying he/she is or by showing a badge of some sort. chevy impalas have the black strip on the sides. i just think it adds to the look of the car. if it was impersanating a "police car" taxis would not have spotlights on their cars either.

 

I was just thinking, cuz of the flashers you got.

 

He is a private investigator if I had to guess by looking at his s/n. My buddy just bought a black Impala and we took the hubcaps off, drilled and tapped the steel wheels and installed some 9C1 centercaps. As long as there are not red/blue in that car you won't get in trouble. If you want to get those centercaps look on Ebay if you are going for the police car look. This is was my first car although I bought it like this:

 

coltP.I. Are you a P.I. Private Investigator?

 

I'm detecting some sarcasm... and it's funny.

 

No, I'm not a private investigator. coltP.I.=i got a colt 40, and police interceptor. the cop look as of now is just a hobby until i pass the the test for the city's for which I'm applying for a police officer check out page 3 of pictures and video under police interceptor for a video on my flashers

 

Sorry for my crack about the psychiatric evaluation. Who am I to talk, it's not like I would pass one anyways

Good luck with your car.

 

Well I was going to say use black vynil in case you sell your car you can just peel it off, but now that I see you drilled into your car I saw rip it off, spraypaint it and put it back on lol!

 

I already masked around the trim. would the paint stick to the trim without sanding??

 

no...it won't, well not for long.





I don't think I am understanding this thread whatsoever.

 

Don't listen to them. Just take a paint brush to it and have fun.
