    I think all white is too much... Need to keep at least the black trims on the bumpers, on a white car..

    Having said that, Sean H's silver 535 looks very nice indeed with the bumper trims done

    Painting the trim looks 500% better.. all the old black etc makes the car look dated.

    Hey Incantation, do you have any more pics of yours? I'd love to see how it looks on the green.

    Are you going to do it yourself? I tried to do it myself, but finally switched back to black, after messing up the clear coat. Just remember it's better to invest a few bucks in spray gun than using regular spray cans. Or give it to someone who has one. Trust me on this one.

    I like the classic look. Mine is a 90 and I don't want to try to make it look more modern. If I wanted more modern, I would have bought more modern. But I am the first one to say to anybody, do what makes you skip.

    Reading the way you phased the yes option:

    "Oh heck yeah that da sexy baby!"


    I think your heart leans that way so make her look the way you love her.

    (I voted barf but I do like Brodee's).

    Default trim paint

    Here's a thought that I've considered for trim paint: Using Monocote (a heat-shrink plastic sheeting from model airplane shops), one could coat these trim surfaces in any of a variety of colors. The color and quality of Monocoat is excellent, probably as good or better than can be achieved by spraying, and Monocoat is impervious to fuel, etc.. This way, you can see if you like the new color scheme, and if you don't, just peel off the Monocote film to restore the original color.
