Has anyone painted tmolding successfully?
whammoed:
Are you on a really tight budget or do you need a special color of tmolding? Tmolding is relatively cheap, seems like it would be better to simply buy the right color instead of buying supplies to paint what you have. You could ebay the stuff you won't use.

Just trying to get some use out of something I already have. Was working on a mini cab and thought it would be easier to paint a little then order a whole lot.

you could try to trade with someone if you don't need any special color.
Otherwise, I'm betting vinyl dye will work out pretty well.

Test the vinyl dye on a little chunk. It works well on most plastics, but with some rubbers it just melts it and messes it up. I found that out when I tried to dye the cords on a set of PC speakers black, it just sort of melted and splotched them all up.

Weird I thought they used some sort of plastic that could not be painted. Wel you can paint it, but it won't hold for long. A die might work better, but I tried painting mine and indeed it came of quite easily.
