   Oh.. 'Exteriour Trim' I call it.
   
   Yer, Colour coded looks 100% neater.
   
   Although i think black bump strips, with back to black on them look so so neat too. Esp on a white/ red/ Blue car. (And yellow )

    Might look alright on colours like black or white, but not sure about the likes of blue, red, mango etc

    Yeah they look good colour coded and you can flat them back to smooth easily with some light rubbing with sand paper before you prime them for best results mate.
