I'm pulling all the trim starting with the back barn doors and working my way forward. I have some electrical work to do (power locks) and I am missing a few pieces of trim.

First of all some of the trim has scuffs, scratches, etc. I was considering painting all of the trim black but they may look odd so I may just try to match the color. The color is the beige looking color. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to match this paint and what type of paint will be durable?

Also I am missing trim pieces that run over the wheel wells in the cargo area. Any suggestions?

im actually doing a color change from tan to black.. im using duplicolor and have used it in the past and it holds up well.. but for factory match i would suggest sema.. it will be oem color.. and for scratches in the plastic if they are a big deal take a propane torch and lightly go over them and they will disappear.. some of the real deep scratches you will just have to deal with..

So are you just going to clean with rubbing alcohol and spray with duplicolor? Certain gloss you use? Any other tips for a nice looking job?

im sorry i use krylon fusion.. i dont know why i want to call it duplicolor, sorry about that.. there is no priming needed and its designed for plastic.. what ever you do dont wipe down your pieces with paint thinner, my oh shit handles were the first thing i did and they wont dry. i use super clean to wipe all the parts down to get all the old armor-all then alcohol to ensure they are clean.. then spray a very light pack coat, almost like an overspray coat.. after about 2 of those i start applying it thicker.. satin will give you the gloss of factory with armor-all but its not over powering.. take a look at my thread i have here i have a few pics up..
on a side note, not to promote myself but we use this on the little kids cars that stay outside and get beat up way more than the interior and it does just fine.

So you feel that the paint looks like a semi-professional job? I guess my main concern is not making it look too cheap. I appreciate the help.
