    Complex trim applicator help

    I have some complex trim on my daily driver windshield cowling and been using paint dabbers from a craft store to apply trim dressings. I have used them on regular surfaces and really good for accurate application.

    I have tried the craft brushes but do not like them very much and I know Lake Country has some sticks (sold at AG but not seen elsewhere) for $20 (before discounts).

    The paint dabbers work with very soft compliant foam that fills the cowling groves but they are not that durable. What does everyone else use?




    Admin, I think there is a double image yet I only posted one.

    Ive been using an stoners trim shine no applicator needed. I never did find a good applicator for things like that or honeycomb grills. The aresol can works really well other then a bit of overspray.

    I switched to buying Trim Shine direct in the 5 Gal. pail I like it so much. I use it in a spray and/or pump bottle. Many times, on daily drivers, I`ll spray those black mesh like grills then use compressed air to blow any excess clear. Doesn`t use much more product than the aerosol and @ $70 delivered for 5 gals ....

    For cowling and when spraying would lead to too much overspray, I`ve dedicated some old foam wax pads that I spritz some product on and wipe.

    I use Nero dressing applied with a badger shaving brush.

    No, I didn`t intentionally spend $55 for the shaving brush. I bought it at garage sale for $9.
