Fixing that Faded Trim : Pics!!!

Ok so today I had a little extra time on my hands and what did I do, work with my explorer of course! I am so tired of those ugly faded trim peices, so I jumped on here, found a thread about painting them, and did it! However, I noticed noone ever posts pics of their finished work to show that it DOES help make it look better. So say no more, here they are:

For those interesed, I just went down to Autozone, picked up some Dupli-color "trim paint" in a spray car, and some 400 grit sand paper... sand it off, wipe it clean with a damp cloth, and spray away. Of course tape the area so you dont get overspray. (I could care less and just prayed I wouldnt screw anything up, and I was ok! No major overspray here!!!)

Anyways, any comments/questions... go ahead and ask... if I cant help, someone probably can.

Haha, well to let you know, I too HAVE a job... While I'm not a student, I've been thinking more about it (Always hated school and the "break" turned into a really looonnggg one)... And no, I don't always wash/wax mine, matter of fact, I rarely do... It just seems to look that good... :p Actually,it has looked like crap up close most of the time... And wasn't trying to make you feel like you didn't love the X, just saying I sanded mine down and it looked like that... Anyway, no hard feelings, I "hear" your sarcasm...
