Has anyone ever painted their interior trim gloss white? Thinking about doing trim, but I am stuck

Until you do a clear corner mod, you shouldn't be allowed to give opinions ;-)

Default or aluminum trim...

white mouldings will look tacky. but then again many would argue taste is all relative...

Default I agree...I kind of am leaning towards silver, mine is silver also. I think silver looks really nic

against the dark interior. Do you know of any pics of painted silver trim? I guess I am not sure rather it would be the same as the sport trim or not? I don't know rather I want to go piano black or not.

No, I haven't seen silver done yet.. the "wood" is just aweful IMHO, and it's going to have to go!

Default I agree, that is why I am looking into it. Maybe you have the same problem as me...on my

shift surround by where the ashtray opens, it is really scuffed almost, at least it seems like it is. It looks and feels dull and looks like crap, so I want to paint it, but I am split between black and silver trim...

Default Yeah, mine looked like crap, so I 'brushed' the chrome TIP cover and bought a Carbon Fiber

Trim piece, so now it's the hottness! Although, the rest of my trim is still wood! Nasty!

Default Well, it pops right off ... and it is just paint ... if you don't like it, just sand and shoot

it again ...

It just won't match the rest, but I think you see that piece the most ...

Before I found the CF piece, I was considering PlastiDip for it ... nice tuff stuff ...
