is there a website that sells car trims or would i have to paint it??

 

can you be more specific?? what kind of trim?

 

the outer trim of your car at the bottom that goes all around the dark gray part.

 

gotta paint it!

 

ah.
usually if you want that painted the body color you can have somebody do it. Maybe try a body shop or something. I dont think there is a place that sells just the body color matched trim pieces. for now I'm fairly certain its a custom job.
If you just want to buy those pieces.. i'm not sure where to get them other than from BMW. you can get the Aero kit from aftermarket companies like outmotoring, or minspeed etc but still, i dont think they come painted.
Does that help??

 

sand it, primer, paint and then gloss? i have a RBG mini with white top and white mirror caps so i think if i make it white it would look awesome!

 

that could be awesome looking!
as far as your paint steps are concerned. thats correct. the prep is really important. and make sure you use the right paint. it will need to be able to flex because of the plastic.

 

all the pebbles and everything would hit it tho so what can i put so it doesn't get scratched to easily and loose its color?

 

you can get an invisaguard, its a clear film you stick over the paint to protect it. I know they have this for the front bumper... dont know about the arches and side skirts etc etc

 

This isint my car but its a good example because it has white rims. Now i dont know if i should do the area circled in red white only or the red and blue, because im thinking with the white rims also it would be to much. I wanna get it down so i can start tommorow
