Default Anyone ever painted there old looking trim?

I have been really hating how all my window trim/door trim is shitty looking even trim pieces of roof of car are whitish looking. Has anyone ever painted there's and how did it turn out?

I had 97 cherokee that had faded fender flares on it and i taped off the body and got some krylon fusion paint and painted them, they turned out great and have been thinking trying it with my 99 EM1. but i also don't want to **** up anything like paint or trim..

I used satin black on my window trim. Looks great.
There's a DIY on window trim/wipers

I have used with great success SEM satin black trim paint in black. I have used it on interior peices as well as exterior including my windsheild cowl and many people thought it was brand new. I normally clean and scuff with a grey scotch pad you can purchase at most auto paint supply stores. GL!

I painted mine as well. Make sure to get your wiper arms, too. It makes for a good 20 footer. You know, a car that looks good from 20 foot.

I did mine with flat black high heat paint. Loved it.

Why would someone flock their trim??? That sounds a little desperate to me, might need a girlfriend for all that!lol

On a serious note if you have a question search for the answer and you can't find one. Create your own tread, don't thread jack it is rude!!!
