I painted the sun visors black reasonably successfully. :thumbsup: It's all in the preparation. As long as the surround is rubbed down and cleaned prior to primer.

You need to remove the sunvisors and then carefully pull the top part off. then you can pull off the sides. They are just fixed with metal clips.
