The price on stock trim parts is fairly cheap but the painting requires sanding and prepping that gets expensive. The stock parts are rough and don't take to paint well without smoothing it out.

for a twist, on my dark silver rig, the stock trim color works fine, so:
I took one of my stock trim parts to my autobody paint dealer and had a quart of PPG DBU basecoat mixed up to match. Then I sprayed the Aero skirts and all the stock trim pieces. Now they all match exactly: color and gloss. The only prep I did on the stock plastic was a thorough clean and Final Prep solution wipe down. I even sprayed most of them right on the car by slipping paper under the edges and or using masking tape.
