This is paint on a metal piece. Sand too deep and you show metal, and you need to spray it black.

Yeah I saw it a while back.
There is also this article about "forever black" solution. its kinda like dye for your trim:

I tried this and I ruined the trimming. They came out dule and a light gray rubber color. I regeret doing this..should have left it flaky and rough the way it was.

are you serious j13? i did it and it looks brand new

what grit sandpaper did you use?

 

[j13]

Started with 1500 then I used 2000 to make it smoother...but trim detail and it looked good...when I washed the car and all the detail was washed off and dried it looks gray and scratchy straight streaks (the way it was sanded the person said not to do it in circles).

I guess I did it properly but I thought the outcome was going to be black black black looking...not black only when a trim detail product is applied.
