Painting the trim the same color as car

when painting the trip the same color as the car is do you need to paint the whole car, what about cost? What about shine? I am in San Diego, any suggestions where to have it done? Mexico?

painting trim

When a Mercedes dealer has to order new bumper fairings to repair a customer's car, they arrive in slate blue-gray plastic and are primed with a special plastic flexible primer to match the body of the car. It is not necessary to paint the whole car only the plastic trim. The difference is amazing! P.

Painted trim on a black pearl E320 95

I would like to see pictures of an E320 W124 with all the bottom trim painted the same color as the rest as I am thinking about this myself

The car would look better and probably bigger

so if anyone had done it please show pictures of your baby

My car is also Black Pearl, so it will look identical. However, mine was painted this way from the factory.
