On the heels of the discussion last week regarding painting exterior
plastic, I painted the exterior on my bus this past weekend.  I used Krylon
flat black to paint
both front grilles
rear air intakes
rear window exhaust vents
trim on front/rear bumpers and
the trim on the side panels

It worked very well indeed.

Also, as my 13 year old decided to "touch up" a spot he decided  I missed, I
had to clean some errant paint from one of the side panels.  Honorable son
missed the black trim and hit a portion of the gray plastic.  Ultimately, I
found that furniture finish stripper (essentially methyl ethyl ketone) not
only removed the errand black paint nicely, but also did a fantastic job of
refurbishing the general finish of the trim.  So well in fact that I used it
on the other side trim and bumpers.  They all look really clean and sharp!
