Default Plastic Molding

I'm pretty stoked, I just painted all my plastics on my Cherokee and man does it look so much better. I recently bought an 01 Cherokee 4X4 and I've done some work to it. I did a complete tune up, put a new transmission filter and fluid, ran a cleaner and flush through the radiator and put fresh coolant, fixed the lift gate, and got the A/C fixed. It's coming together and I love it. This is my first Cherokee and my first 4X4 and I'm addicted!

I took some pictures, but I'm not sure how to upload them. I want to upload them from my computer, not from a URL link. Any help would be awesome!

The plastics used to be grey/white from serious fading. Now my Jeep (Thor) looks amazing!

What type of paint did you use on the trim? Looks Great.
Mine are quite weather and need some attention.

I did mine with Krylon plastic paint and it looks awsome. Well worth it.

I just painted some of mine with rustoleum bedliner and it looks pretty bad ***. Good job dude! I would recommend the rustoleum plastic paint next time over krylon. I used it to paint 4wheeler plastics when it first came out and its holding up a lot better than the krylon has.

Thanks y'all, I used Rustoleum matte finish. I didn't know about the plastic paint until after the fact. Next time I'll be using that, but this paint turned out very nice.
