Default Thinking about painting side molding. YES or NO?

Calling all clean hatches with painted/non-painted side moldings to post pics to help me make my decision. I recently purchased a SiR front end for my stock 89 DX hatch, and plan to repaint the whole car. Contumplating whether to paint the side moldings and bumper strips black or the same color as the car. Thanks.

IMO it always makes it look like a half-assed paint job

Paint them exactly like you would like, not what everyone else says
