Question Paint for Mirrors and Trim...

What would be the best paint to use on my mirrors and window trim? They're faded, and chipping in a few spots, and I want to make them look like new. I've heard of people using Dupli-color trim paint, but it's flat black. What finish is it supposed to be? Thanks!

You can get flat black trim paint from any major auto parts store. Don't use clear coat to seal it, it will produce a shine. Use a regular paint sealer, or just leave the flat balck.

I have always use Krylon Semi-Flat Black on all the Foxes cowl, mirrors and lower windshiled trim. Looks prefect and hard to screw up! Scoth Brite pad and a alcohol wipe down them spray!
