painting wondow trim help, sand? fill? Options

[jason]

heres a pic of my current passenger side window trim, after some ass with a tuck drove by with trees hanging out it my car got all scratched up, have plans for fixing the scuffs on the body paint, but how do you go about fixing the window trim??? would i just sand it smoothe and paint as normal? fill it in with some type of silicon then paint? im leaning towards sanding, but i have a feeling im going to lose the "rounded" structure of the trim. any ideas?

my first idea would be to track down the jackas$ that decided to let tree branches hang out to the point where they would hit other cars. That would piss me off.

yeah i already gave him a piece of my mind, i just drove my car outfrint from washing & waxing it parked it in the street like 2 inches from the curb (the wrong way) and he drove by and hit it as i was walking to the house, so i ran out an he stopped and i was just like wtf??

well that is when you should have gotten his information and had his insurance co. pay for it to be fixed.

surprisingly enough armorall and some elbow grease makes them almost blend in

plus makes everything so shiney, i think my ghetto buff job aint too bad

as far as insurance, i prolyl should have, but im gettin some bodywork n paint done when it warms up soon anyway, and i was gonna paint all the black stuff on the car anyways, just wasnt sure about hot to get scratches outta rubber

yeah, but then some of your body work would have been on his dime....
