Default White or white w/black moldings?

Car is about to be painted soon. JDM conversion is in progress. Should I go with the black mouldings or paint all white?

I'd go all white / also this post would probably get more answers in appearance/cosmetic

Either or is fine. Mine is painted all white and I have a few photshops of my car with the black molding too, just to see what it would look like if I wanted to go back.

Its really up to you, but take this in to consideration. If you keep them black, and you want them white. More then likely your gonna have to paint them yourself and there not gonna be as durable as if they came out of the shop painted. But if you ever decide to go back to black, you could just buy new molding and put it back on.

I would agree with the White on White. Looks much more sleek.

Only problem I've had with my painted moldings is about 2-3 years later it started chipping in a few places. Make sure you get some touch up paint of the same color, so you don't have to try to match later. It could just be I had a crappy painter though!

That one guy has a point about painting them and if you want put some black ones on, but im pretty sure you can only replace the side mouldings, and not the ones on the bumper. The main reason i wouldnt paint em is because ive heard from other people that people hit em with doors in parking lots and it flakes off and it would eventually flake off, dont paint em IMO.
