there is a DIY for pillars I believe...I tried to get rockstar21 to do a DIY for the chrome trim- but nope..
Perhaps jp75 will hook us up? I really would love to paint my trim..

guys all i did for the trim was tape the trim off..i have a tape machine that applies the tape on a roll of brown paper to mask off everything..then i sanded the trim down real good with 320..till it was dull..then cleaned with automotive prep cleaner...primered with black primer..then used dupilcolor trim paint..came out minty

yeah..i sprayed them when i did the pillars with the trim paint from dupliclor..wiped em down with prep cleaner and srpayed em...big problems tho man...after i sprayed them they didnt really look like a even finish so..the next day i wet sanded them down with 320 sprayed them again..and all the paint cracked...looks like shit now,,gonna have to wrap them with vinyl,,think thats the best bet...they sell some nice carbon fiber pillars on ebay tho for 70 bucks..thinking bout them too

the same exact thing happened to me when I sprayed mine..lol.
I bought the vinyl overlays from ebay-word of caution theyre super thin (like a sticker) and show everything under them, so you have to get the pillars completely smooth before applying them.
If I had to do it over again I would have bought the thicker ones from that one website.. HERE
