    ^^ True it is a bit of a semi gloss. I've done all trim pieces before and it turned out decent. Any matte flexible acrylic paint should also work. If you don't like the result spray them again or go with all new trim.

      I saw on another forum people were just sanding them smooth and using 3M vinyl wrap.

        You could vinyl wrap it. Don't see why that'd be an issue!

            +1 for wrapping. I wrapped mine and it was way easier than painting. No need to sand either, just make sure it's clean.

              Jamil does a decent job of wrapping parts as well. He wrapped a few of his interior peices on his E92!

                Back when I had my civic I plasti-dipped my trim and it turned out very good.

                      Also, plasti-dip is pretty lasting. Clean the surface, and spray. It's stupid easy, and is durable.

                        Plastidip is a lot harder to get a really smooth surface. A lot of time there is still some roughness to it. I think I'm going to order some vinyl when I get home.
