well i guess its not letting me post in the write up section for some reason but here you go.

I took a little sequence of pics the other day when painting my side moldings wasnt to hard and took about total 3 hours between two days. Make sure the surface is good and clean and when your ready and shoot

 

wow that came out pretty nice. The black looks spot on. great job!!

 

Nice! I personally prefer the "black plastic treatments" all of my molding was chalky white and then I was handed some "3200 black" with a sponge applicator. I use this stuff on EVERYTHING. Once it dries, its black, its not coming off, and takes scratches like its a new piece.

still I think that looks great, especially since you have factory painted flares.

 

Looks great! Well done.

 

why not just remove the trim?...i think they look 100x better with out it

Looks really good and blends in good too. Nice job.

 

paint job did come out very nice... let us know how it's holding up in a couple weeks...

but I have to agree with 'e30' I'd just take them off, looks way better, but maybe with a black XJ it is fine

 

"3200 Black" is that a brand name? Where did you get it?

 

This is not fabrication.

 

yea i know its not fab but it wouldnt let me post on write up so i had to put it somewhere. thought maybe someone would move it. its been like 3 weeks now paints still holding up

 

What do u guys think I should do to mine? Some people tell me to paint the side molding white and others tell me to take them off, but I want to hear from smart people like u.

Personally, I just want to paint them so that they look brand new...not a shiny black but some dark charcoal color. How could I do that?
