Painting Trim

stimpy · 01-23-2009, 05:24 PM

What shade of black should I paint my trim? Ideally I'd like to do Satin Black to match everything else however I'm having problems imagining how it'd look. Anyone have their trim painted matte/satin and has up close photos?

Car = Black Sapphire E92
Wheels = All Satin Black
Kidneys = Matte Black (may repaint to Satin if I can tell the difference)
Lower Grills = Satin Black

Window trim. The stuff that costs a billion dollars from the dealership for a coupe.

I did this a while back ........... use Plasti-Kote in whatever shade you like. This paint is very durable and kinda "flexible" regarding chips etc ....
