How to Paint the Side Chrome Trim of the Ford Explorer?

Model: Ford Explorer MK 5, U502 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Accessory kit

You can paint the side chrome trim or other chrome parts of the Ford Explorer to give it a look more suited to your tastes. For this, you only need suitable spray paint, some alcohol, and masking tape. Apply the masking tape around the area to be painted on the bodywork to protect it from paint. Then, use the alcohol to thoroughly clean the chrome surface and apply the spray paint. Make at least three applications, always waiting for the previous coat to dry before applying a new layer. When you are satisfied with the result, remove the masking tape that you placed to protect the bodywork.
