I'm about to respray my '95 Dakota in pure white. For contrast, I need to freshen up the wheelwell moulding trim, side mirrors, etc. Spray cans are fine. What product would look close to factory black, be fairly durable and not break the bank? I'm a fan of Krylon Satin Black but I'm sure there are others out there. Any suggestions?

 

Dupli color plastic primer. It is clear. Then duiplicolor sand able primer black (go by the cap), and duplicolor clear coat on top.
You should sand that plastic before paint and after the first coat of black.

 

I've had good luck with SEM bumper coatings. I do use flexible primer though and I know some others don't.

You have to be very clean with the trim, no grease / oil or dirt. Wash with soap and water first, then use prepsol (or similar) to make sure no oils, but I don't sand it.

Take that fender trim off and add it to the trash. Looks cleaner without and removes a water trap that helps rot your truck out faster

 

There is some truth to this....the water trap that is.
