Paint the black trim parts?

As the title says, I'm considering to get all the black trim pieces on the outside have been looking at the M-sport trims as we'll but don't really like the front on the M-sport. So was wondering if anyone had done the same or have a picture on how it might look

It would cost a ton to do or would take you forever to sand and paint yourself. Good luck, though. I believe somebody with an alpine white did this.

Twix is correct that someone did that with an Alpine White Sportline. Do a search through this forum. They had all of the trim pieces removed, painted, and reinstalled.

We'll I'm so lucky to have a good friend that owns a body shop and it was his suggestion after I talked to him about getting my rear bumper resprayed, so the cost and time is not a issue ��

What colour is your car? Good Before/After photos please.
I have white with black plastic around the bottom with a silver section on the front and rear bumper.
I would like mine to be all white but due to cost will do the silver sections matching black myself and see how that goes until I can afford them white.
Who knows might look good/ok.
