For the trim I think Self etching primer and SEM trim paint.

I'm pretty sure the SEM trim paint has a flex agent in the paint to allow it to expand/contract without cracking. You'll just want to make sure the primer you use does as well...

There's no need to use self-etching primer on plastic body trim. Self-etching primer is an acid-based primer meant for chrome and bare metal. Regular primer will be fine, just sand the trim first.

I did SEM self etch and trim black looks fine, I prepped with steel wool and some water and soap, no secrets here. I am redoing most of my trim with the SEM stuff, should look a million times better than the dirty shit grey look.
