Regarding the X1/9 trim & painting it black...
I had my '91 X1/9 bumpers sandblasted and had then anodized. Once the
bumpers are anodized, you need to spray a few coats of black semi gloss
enamel over the existing black anodizing. This provides a nice even
tough finish. You may also fix any bad spots your bumper has at this
point. I have ben driving my X since '95 like this with zero chips�it
works.
I'm not sure it will work on the window chrome, for that I just bought
the black trim from a '87 model Bertone and used what I needed.
