Did you paint them, paint them? Or did you use vinyl interior paint?

Yes. That's great. That doesn't explain why he used an automotive grade EXTERIOR paint, when black INTERIOR paint/dye with a lower gloss and sheen for INTERIOR application is readily available most anywhere.

I used krylon fusion when I did mine. With a little prepwork, they turned out very nice.

I used this before on my old car and it worked great too. I just wanted to see if the color matched paint was worth the extra $3 and half the can.

Yes i was sure thats what it ment. But you have to remember not all exterior trim is metal. There are a lot of cars that have plastic exterior trim.

It works really great too, i just wish Briallant Black was one of the colors Duplicolor offered in a regular size Spray Bomb instead of a 5oz can

I found an exact color match at my local home depot, but it was texture paint. Lucky for me the it was a light texture that matches the grain texture of some of the panels.

Have you installed the pillers yet? I'd like to see what they look like inside the car.
