Default can you paint your window trim???

i noticed that the trim around my rear quarter windows and the harder stuff around my front windows are really starting fade....i also noticed i can take all of them off,i was wondering if i could paint them and if the paint would stick since the back ones are like rubber and im not sure if the front ones are like hard plastic.I dont know if i would need a different kind of paint that i have now (caliper paint)????

Yes, you can paint them... Use some plastic primer first, then the black paint.

I would first try Mothers Back to Black. It worked on mine, and I have heard good things from a lot of other guys on the forum.

if you paint the rubber the sun might dry it up and crack the paint after a while, but the plastic should be fine

thats a good point i didnt think about that...i might have to try some back to black then on the rubber window strips....i just ran outta ideas on what to try and clean them with cause all it is on there is old wax but it just wouldnt come off for some reason.
