Default Painted window trim

The window trim on my cab was faded pretty bad. I just now got around to painting it and I wished I would have done it earlier. This is the first paint job I have done in 20 years, except for paint chips of course, and I am very happy with it. Only problem is that I underestimated the overspray on such a small job. No major problem but a real PIA to clean up.

Looks great! What type of paint did you use? Was there much prep?

What paint did you use? One of those little but effective fixes.

I thought I prepped the car pretty good but there was a lot of overspray on the glass and door...luckily it buffed off. I lightly sanded the area and used some Duplicolor primer then Duplicolor flat black. It matches the door handles well.
