B pillar color

Can anyone tell me what the original color of the b pillars on a nighthawk black Acura tls is? I'm debating if they were gloss or the color of trim and bumper paint. Also were they the same color as the window trim? Any suggestions? Thx

Assuming you mean exterior, I thought they were all black?
The ones on my 2000 were a little miscolored/oxidized. One of the many things I never got around to fixing before trading it in.

If you're referring to the garnishes in this pic (#4, 8, 11, 14), these pieces have a gloss black finish and they don't match the body color.

Well they were definitely black but there is a variation of black. Just like in the war with plasmas and LCD showing a true black vs other black tints or hues.

Yes this is what I was looking for. I'm repainting and want to get back to the factory look.

I was actually thinking of colourmatching mine to the body colour(ABP), along with the smaller C pillar as well.

Was thinking of getting the chrome painted black, and maintain a black/ABP colour for the whole exterior.

HATE. CHROME.

I'm pretty sure you could just dip them too. This way if u sell it you could just go back to chrome or let the person know that they can change it back to factory. However, I don't think they make Matching Honda paint colors.

I was also thinking about the all black too. However, I think it would be too time consuming. I esp like the all black front grill.

Yeah, no chance of selling the car, so, I am content with having the chrome painted black and the pillars colour-matched.

You can also try trim brite as well for the chrome.

Used it on my Accord, and it worked/held up great.
