I did it twice with paint, satin black then gloss black, didn't like the look. Then I used vinyl, gloss black, looks MUCH better.

Pjinca, how does the gloss look with the matte black panels between the windows?

yup use bmwshadowline.com vinyl ($27) and looks just as good, well as long as you have some kind of vinyl experience/skills...saves you lots of money and work to take off and replace all the trim...
