    Repainting faded trim

    Can I just tape off my trim; sand, spray paint, and clear coat it. Or should I do something else?

    my advice would be to remove the trim; using a heat gun or any other method you know, and then sand it smooth, lay the 1st coat of primer, sand it smooth, than another coat. after that, you can spray the color(i'd spray a couple coats), than clear. remember, if you want to half-ass it, it will show in the paint. do it right the first time. peace
    i hate being broke!

        i would just tape it off using fineline tape. Wet sand the shine off of it, lay a couple coats of primer surfacer on, mist some black paint on afterwards and wet sand untill all the black is gone, If you have a really bad chip that you cant sand out(youll see this because of the black paint), use some finishing putty to fill the lowspo and then sand smooth.. Once you get all the low spots taken car of, then you can lay a couple coats of color down, and after your last coat, with the paint tacky but not smeary to touch, lay a couple coats of clear...and as dark angel said, take your time and do it right the first time, youll see any mistakes in the paint if it is a dark color.
