      Open the door you'll see a 10mm nut. Take that off. Pull on trim. Have replacement clips ready because they'll probably break. Front fender just pull off. Rear 1/4 panel, remove 10mm nut in wheel well. Pull trim off. I prefer SEM trim black paint but Duplicolor has gotten good reviews on here as well.

        Lightly sand the trim so that it does not have much gloss to it, spray it with a primer, I prefer epoxy primer, but that is not cheap for a can (24$) but for trim your standard primer should do fine. Spray with your choice of black, I like satin black or SEM trim paint, Both are fine and will last.

          I def gotta re-do all my trim, as well as my bumpers.. Post pics when done.. Previous owner painted my bumpers all one color as well ( rub strips ) They look like a pain to remove though.

            Repaint the door trim and for the bumpers, get new euro trim.
