Ok, I'm looking to find some of the paintable strips that go around the car to replace the black inserts in the bumpers and the black rubber strips on the sides of the car. i've seen a few pics of cars with them and I can't find them anywhere. someone please clue me in so i can have a car that is all one color,

yeah, just like those! that's definately a good look. Hey romkasponka, how well do your neighors deal with U.S. customers? There are some nice pieces for pretty cheap. Are those fiberglass or plastic? thanks

You shouldn't just mask less to achieve this look. The paint will need to have special polymers added (from the paint suplier) that help it retain flexibility...
