Going black on the trim would be a painful process. Just realized that. Switching to silver. Hope it matches the existing silver trim from factory or they would have to go as well. Any advice on matching paint color for factory trim?

Paint Trim

I painted my interior trim (lower console, horseshoe, ignition key surround, instrument bezel surround, 3 trim pieces, seat back release, seat levers) the same way I painted my bumperettes. It's really all in the preparation. Begin with 250 grit sandpaper and work your way all the way up to 1000 grit. Take your time and sand each and every piece thoroughly and the results will be worth it. Get your paint from automotivetouchup.com. I ordered the adhesion promoter, primer, paint and clearcoat and used about 2 coats of each.
