For things like new door seals, removing/replacing the sagged out map pockets on the door panels and steering wheel type stuff, where's the best place to buy from?
Is the stuff from LMR any good?

[ChickenLips]

I've been happy with LMR, but haven't bought anything in the 2-3 years so can't vouch for current quality standards. The one thing that was off for me was a seal for a factory sunroof. It was too thick and never compressed to proper size even after several years.

I might do this but use the right colour

Is possible to fix this pitting? Just sand it smooth?
I’ve read to use trim black paint colour

Sand smooooooth, prime then shoot with paint.

What is your black trim paint of choice, Rick?

[ZR]

Don't use it often enough to have an opinion. Our previous go to flat / semi gloss paint (hasn't been available for over a year) was used for pretty much everything with great results.

I believe most refinish in satin black trim paint from SEM. Not sure what availability looks like at the moment though.

From all the DIY videos I have seen the trim restoration is a relatively simple but tedious time consuming kind of project where prep, sand and clean is the vast majority of the work.

We must have watched the same YouTube video. Will try to find that SEM brand trim paint somewhere.

miles away from Timmins but I get my supplies at Dura Chemicals. They've got almost everything in stock and can even fill rattle cans.

I used Dupli-Color Trim and Bumper paint with great results.

[Gabe]

I have used the SEM product previously with great results. Purchased at a local Napa even after was told it was no longer readily available/ hard to get

Damn Brad, how fast are you going at Cayuga?

The only things I can see that make SEM trim paint special are that it doesn't require a primer(debatable) and that it is flexible, but the mirror isn't a piece that flexes. I can't see how trim paint is any more durable than any other rattle can car paint, meaning I don't know how they get away without recommending a clear coat.

If you sand it and prime it, you should be able to use any kind of (compatible with the primer) paint you want. I've seen some painted to match the car. A clear coat, matte or gloss, on top would help with maximum durability.

Pretty sure the factory finish is satin as the SEM stuff is.
I don’t think the factory used a clear coat on top

Right. I think a lot of trim is black plastic, using trim paint is just to freshen them up from fading. The mirrors must be painted, as they always end up like yours. Maybe they should’ve clear coated from factory!
