Painting side mouldings...

Is there anything special needed to be done to the mouldings to paint them, when you paint the car? Not wanting to paint them black, but the same as the car. Thanks.:bowdown:

just spray them with some aheisive promoter for flexable parts. you can mix into the primer or bulldog and duplicolor both make a decent rattle can version.

I just used adhesive promoter like John said and added flex additive to the paint (painted them the same time as the bumpers).  SEM makes a couple good adhesion promoters.  One I'm using right now on my Porsche interior is called Sand Free.

I should've mentioned that mine have been painted since 1995 and they still look as fresh as day one.
