you need to get plastic paint, available at your local hardware store, how do you prepare it, depends on the paint. So i guess just read the instruction on the paint you would buy

what is the plastic trim around the can?

I think he means the car, not can. Am I right?

you should be able to find the paint code either under the hood or in the doorjam

ya.. i got me some m3 side moldings and got them painted looks real good!

If you want to paint it, you need to wet-sand out any impurities and wipe liberal amounts of prep-sol solvent on all the plastic to be painted. As for paint you want to get the plastic bumper paint. As for color i cant help you there

The paint code is on your drivers side strut tower under the hood

What color is your car and are you painting it black or car color?

hey im doing the same thing to my car.....how much would it be to have someone else paint the plastic moldings?

thanks for the help and i am painting it red to match the car however i think the car may have been repainted because the side skirts and bumper are the same color as the car and i do not believe that come like that stock on a 92 325i 4door am i correct?
thanks
