Painting the black wheel trim around the black trim around the mini

can anyone link pics of a mini with the black trim around the edges of the car painted the same color as the body?

I would imagine it needs to be sanded down first to get it smooth. Anyone done this and how much were you charged..


toodles!

Here are a couple of threads with pics. the trim will need to be sanded down and a special bonding primer applied before paint.

In my opinion painted arches look much better than stock.
