Topic #72715 6 posts Started by 2celicas2love
so all you need is lots of masking tape, news paper, and matte spray paint and a lot of time to tape everything off really good , its not flawless but i don't really care about my crappy paint anyways so there was a few slight oopps moments. My trim was so bad it was white-ish

before:








after:





i did both sides, no point in showing that because it looks the same as these pics smile.gif

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of2000 7th gen GTS 6spd95 st, swapped 3sgte 3rd gen wrc version :D
Looks awesome! Mine is not all that bad, but i think Im going to give it a fresh coat.
And when my car gets repainted black, might make a bold move no one has and paint it red redface.gif!

lol, going for different, my whole interior is red, drums and calipers, and the mesh in my bodykit bumper will be when the car gets painted black. Ill post a pic up when I do it. And if it looks bad then, I can always go back to clean black look smile.gif

You and I have similar ideas on the black and red sir...however, I won't be painting my trim red, my car is already black and I will not have an invader...going for slightly modified stock. Appearance wise, anyway.
if your's aren't corroded just yet and you want to save them a bit, try using whatever you use on your inside dash and trims and apply that to it. Like I use armorall protectant on my dash, so I put some on my window trim as well. Gives it a nice black shine and keeps it protected from sun.
