Hi folks, hope you are doing well.
I've been dealing for a while with my Expedition 2007 Eddie Bauer Gear Shifter beign scratched on the top side of the chrome... paint has faded and it look horrible. I was looking to buy a new one but it was aroun USD 75$ plus shipping.
I finally took the risk of painting the faded plastic part using a metallic Rust Oleum spray can and what a result. I could not be happier and saved a lot of money. I sanded the area and painted without primer and it sticked very well. Just be caucious to mask everything really well as you will be painting inside of your car. I used a black plastic bag big enough to cover a wide area and used tape to have all in place.
See the pictures attached and let me know what you think.
Be well.
