HOW TO PIANT BLACK EXTERIOR TRIM TO MATCH WHITE EXTERIOR PAINT??
So My Car Is White, With This Black Exterior Plastic Trim That Runs All The Way Around The Car (bumper, Doors, Bumper). (1990 honda accord)I Want It To Be White And Match The Paint. How Would I Go About Doing That. Is It Something That I Can Do Myself. Or Should I Have A Shop Do It. does the all white ex front and rear bumper fit.

since you have white i dont think it would be that hard. if you want to DIY you can go to autozone or whatever and get the white duplicolor paint to match your code or close to it and then mask off where you need to paint. you can leave the sideskirts and lips on the car if you are lazy or take them off for a more thorough paint job.
remember to sand it with 800 grit or so the paint will stick. primer it with a few coats. then paint with white a few coats then clear it then your done. try and make sure that no debris get on the parts...
hope that helps

even if you use the same paintcode (same color) the colors gonna be off (meaning it wont match the paint on the body). speaking off of OWN experience not no bullshit i over-heard/read. save up and have the whole car painted. worth every penny if you wanna make it look right. trust.

there is a thread in the accord forum if you search that has this website where you can order the exact paint code of your car in a spray can.
personally i would agree with the other posts to paint your whole car. thats what i did for all my OEM lips.

I remember seeing this thread in the Civic forum before.

The pictures no longer work but they do list the materials and the process so it might be enough for you to follow.
I would say, try the cheaper route first and see how it turns out. If you don't like it, then go the more expensive route. Atleast you can then say you tried.
