are you talking bout the body trimming i just repainted it black with dupont bumper paint. just make sure if you take the trim off of the car that you sand down and clean up where the glue was before you remount them . and what parts are rusted?

I think hes reffering to the trim on the window that gets all rusty and crapped out. I repainted mine with some spray paint from wallmart. Took a few hours and helped in a huge way.

yeah pop them off and if you have the old rubber kind and the rubber is cracking off get a razor blade and sandpaper and get all that rubber off then sand it smooth with fine grit sandpaper and paint it color of your choice... also another thing i did to make car look cleaner was take off my wiper arms, sand and paint them, and the wiper cowl and painted it... car looks sooooo much cleaner with all the little stuff looking good. (dont forget those inner fenders you can see behind your wheels!)
