Dupont has paint for trim, but you might have to invest on a paint gun.

what paint depends on what finish you want, if you want a shiny oem colorpaint then you have go to spray gun route, if you just want a matte/semi matte black then just use a rattle bomb

sem make a sick **** interior rattle bomb 10buck a pop

Here's what I did using Kylon Fusion for plastics. All I did was wash all the dirt off and let it dry before I sprayed it on. I like the results. My trim was all scratched up and faded before. I did probably around 2-3 thin coats. I'm still letting it dry for now. I'm not sure if I need to clear it or anything. Hopefully it won't flaked off

do you guys think I need to clear these after using Krylon paint for plastic? I went over it with my finger tips yesterday and I get some of it on my finger. What can I do?

Yes, use SEM Trim Black. They even have a specific color called "Honda Trim Black". Forget duplicolor, krylon, and all those....SEM is top notch stuff.

You need to go to a place that sells automotive paint - NOT autozone/advance. Check SEM's website to locate a dealer near you.

you should go try plastics dip is the best thing out there, go look up on it...
Multi-purpose air dry, synthetic rubber coating that can be easily applied by spraying, brushing or dipping. Plasti Dip resists moisture, acids, abrasion, corrosion, skidding/slipping, and provides a comfortable, controlled grip. It remains flexible, stretchy and will not become brittle or crack in extreme weather conditions
