Black rubber window trim refresh

Bringing Our RS4 Window Trims Back to Life with Plasti Dip! 🖤🚗✨

If you’ve ever owned an older performance car, you’ll know the struggle… 😩

Our beloved Project RS4 is now 18 years old, and while it still turns heads and puts a smile on our faces every time we drive it, there was one thing that had been bothering us for a while… those faded black rubber window trims! 😬

Years of sun, weather, washing, and general use had left them looking tired, grey, and worn out. No matter how much cleaning, dressing, or polishing we tried, the results never lasted. 🤦‍♂️

So, we decided enough was enough! 💪

In this video, we’re showing you exactly how we transformed the appearance of our RS4’s window trims using a product that’s become a favourite for DIY car enthusiasts everywhere — Plasti Dip! 🎨🖤

Why Plasti Dip? 🤔

Plasti Dip is a flexible, durable rubber coating that’s perfect for restoring faded trim and giving it that factory-fresh satin black finish. 🙌

Some of the benefits include:

✅ Easy to apply
✅ Cost-effective 💰
✅ Great OEM-style finish ✨
✅ Protects against future fading ☀️
✅ Can be removed if needed 🔄

The Process 🛠️

We take you through the entire process step-by-step:

🚿 Thorough cleaning and preparation

📏 Careful masking to protect surrounding paintwork and glass

🎨 Applying multiple light coats of Plasti Dip

⏳ Allowing proper drying time between coats

😍 Revealing the finished result!

The difference is incredible. What once looked dull and aged now looks deep black, clean, and almost factory fresh again! 🖤🔥

Was It Worth It? 👀

Absolutely! 🙌

For a relatively small investment of time and money, the transformation is huge. It’s one of those jobs that can completely freshen up the look of an older car and make it feel years younger. 🚗✨

If you’ve got faded trims on your own project car, daily driver, or pride and joy, this could be the simple solution you’ve been looking for. 👍
