what did you paint those trim parts with? I have redone some parts like that with SEM bumper black before, but it is more of a matte finish.

first clean all parts with wax remover
dupicolor adhesion promoter first/ then one coat of acrylic enamel paint/then sand with 400 grit then 3 coats of paint /3 coats of clear/sand with 1500 wet /dry sand paper/ then use a small buffer and compound to bring out shine /then wax
all was done with auto parts store dupli-color products it takes time to do each part put it looks as good or better then factory paint for sure
