    Paint Questions????

    Hey
    I have a 1990 325i and it is going to get an entire paint job this week coming up. My question is about my bumper trim and door trim. I am getting the car painted a really deep jet black. I want to know if i should go ahead and get the bumper trim and door trim painted the the same black? If not what could i use to make the trim look really good? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Use duplicolor satin black trim spray. It almost never comes out good if you paing the trim body color.

      I agree with you except in the case of black, where it does look good. The previous owner of my vert painted the trim gloss black to match the rest of the car and it doesn't look bad at all. I would say that it is really up to the owner as both ways look good in the case of black. Right now I'm getting my car painted a different color so I'm using plasti-dip on the trim to get them to a good flat black.
