Painted moldy trim

[michol02]

I tried removing mold stains from trim with every thing possible with very little results, so I painted the trim with spray paint that's supposed to stick to plastic(Krylon from Walmart). I'm not sure how long it will last, but I will keep everyone posted. It looks good so far after 1 week.

Looks like it came out nice. What about prep work? Do you have to sand the plastic surface so the paint will adhere?

I sanded one small section of "test" trim, and just wiped the rest of the sections with paint thinner. The paint seemed to stick good to both(Paint can said no need for primer). I used the paint thinner that don't have mineral spirits in it. Same with the front cap cover(just wiped down with paint thinner and applied spray paint).

Thanks. We don't have problem with mold, but, even with liberal applications of 303, the white trim on the sunny side of the 5er is beginning to yellow. Will look into the paint option - thanks for posting.
