so all you need is lots of masking tape, news paper, and matte spray paint and a lot of time to tape everything off really good , its not flawless but i don't really care about my crappy paint anyways so there was a few slight oopps moments. My trim was so bad it was white-ish

before:








after:





i did both sides, no point in showing that because it looks the same as these pics

Looks awesome! Mine is not all that bad, but i think Im going to give it a fresh coat.
And when my car gets repainted black, might make a bold move no one has and paint it red !
all in good time, but goo job looks nice man-

lol, going for different, my whole interior is red, drums and calipers, and the mesh in my bodykit bumper will be when the car gets painted black. Ill post a pic up when I do it. And if it looks bad then, I can always go back to clean black look

You and I have similar ideas on the black and red sir...however, I won't be painting my trim red, my car is already black and I will not have an invader...going for slightly modified stock. Appearance wise, anyway.

if your's aren't corroded just yet and you want to save them a bit, try using whatever you use on your inside dash and trims and apply that to it. Like I use armorall protectant on my dash, so I put some on my window trim as well. Gives it a nice black shine and keeps it protected from sun.
