Default Car qs... with picture.

Thats my car...



I've seen a lot of people who've colored the black trim to match the body color. I kinda like that in a way, but then again I think the black matches well. So my question is how did you guys paint it???

But how the hell do you get into the little corners inside the door. Being a perfectionist I'd go nuts if I found little black spots in the crevices after I got done.
