Getting my bumpers and fillers painted this weekend and painter asks two questions:

1. Front bumper marker light bezels; same color as bumper or flatter black like the headlight bezels?
2. Fender trim - mine are have patina but can be saved. Same question - flatter black or body color? And to that end, how many of you are running with no fender trim at all?

Any info helpful!

Thanks!
 
My front bumper marker light trims are original. They are shiny black like the bumper.

I saw a GN at the ‘88 GS Nationals without the fender trims and liked the smoother look. I have not run the fender trims since, but I believe they’re semi-gloss black.

I think it's ''flatter black'' for both the parking light bezels and the wheel opening mouldings.

Turn indicator bezels were shiny like the bumper, headlight bezels and window trim were matte.

SEM Trim Black works really well for matte pieces.
