Anyone fixed this before?

I\'ve got that common paint fade on the rear door trim, what\'s the best DIY method to repair it? Will a spray can job work?

Plasti-dip? If you screw up, peel it off.

I\'ve never used plasti dip, how do you apply it and did you mask off a large area surrounding?

Had mine re-sprayed or at least my mechanic did after damaging my rear bumper... and what a great job! Sorry, unsure of the process / paint used. Plastidip is a great idea!

Like this, i ended up covering the rest of the car in painters blankets just incase of over spray Its just a spray can, so you clean it up and do multiple coats.

Apply wax and grease remover and wipe dry. Sand down using wet and dry. Begin at like 400g, progressively move to 1000g. You shouldn't need primer. Make sure no dust or w&g remains. I find w&g is the enemy even decent brands. Mask off like others had said. If blending it's a bit harder with cans, fold your masking tape back a little so it's not a hard edge and DO NOT spray all the way down. Try and fade/blend it in. 

 

I spray two light coats or as many as needed for good coverage with 15-20min breaks in between. 

 

Once dry wet sand with 2000g lightly. Let dry and cover with 2k clear, thick but not too thick that it runs. Two coats should be OK. Once dry wet sand with 2000g and let it sit for a week or so then compound and polish. Should blend in nicely with existing paint, providing that that paint isn't faded

Plasti-dip or any rubber paint is what did it for me. As others have said, perfect colour and texture match. 

3-5 coats would do.
