Hi,

If they are plastic components, you need to have a flex additive in the paint to prevent cracking.

Also, you will want to match the color. There are a million shades of silver. Your vehicle will have a paint code. Use that to get the correct color.

I attached a pic below showing where the paint code should be listed. It will have three characters (numbers or letters or both)

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

joe

Hi:

If you have the correct color, it should. I noticed that the label indicates automotive and plastic. So, I would think it is what is needed.

Let me know how things turn out for you.

Take care,

Joe

I meant can I use that to paint my car another color entirely, along with using primer and clear coat?

Hi:

Yes, it can be used on your vehicle but it is black. Also, it is an acrylic enamel paint. You don't use a clear coat with it.

Let me know. I think I'm answering the question. I don't know for sure if that is what you meant.

Take care,

joe
