Bottom Trim
#21
Hey guys. Just thought I'd tell you that I am painting the bottom trim of my 02 monte LS. Its maroon with black trim on the bottom. Today
I am painting the trim silver. Let me know what you guys think. I'll be posting the before and after pictures, either tonight or tomorrow.

I finally ordered the paint, but I was debating sanding the moldings down with 320 and 600 before priming and painting.

Finally got around to painting! I wanted to make the whole body one uniform color instead of two toning with the dull black bottom trim that's stock. It makes the car look a little bit lower as well.

Used 600 grit to wetsand, 2-3 coats of primer, 4-5 coats of base color, 2-3 clear coat. If you have the tools to do so, I'd say remove the rocker moldings, it may save you some time as opposed to masking.
P.S. Also prepare to become slightly high off the fumes, this may make you a bit more careless by the end of the process

I masked it right at the top of the bottom trim, you should be able to layer the masking tape right in the crease above the rocking molding. This way only the molding is exposes and the body gets covered up.
