Plastic primer, a good few coats of High build to cover the print lines, then some paint and lacquer.

I sanded the back down slightly to give it a more flush fit on the boot.

Really happy with them, thanks again IAmOrion.

Do you think I would get away with using black plastidip (acting as primer) and touch up paint to do these?

Only reason for asking is that is what I have at present :D

I tried with touch up paint to begin with, but the finished wasn't very smooth at all, so I poured some into my air brush and used that.

If you give us your vehicle reg, or the VIN number I can tell you.

Or goto this website: https://www.etkbmw.com/bmw/EN/vin/decoder/online

And enter the last 7 digits of your vin (This is your BMW Serial #) ... Normally 2 letters followed by 5 numbers. Eg: AB12345
